2019 (8) TMI 1777 - HC - Indian LawsValidity of Look-out-notice - offence under Section 420 r/w 120(B) of IPC and u/s 13(2) and 13(1)(d) of Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 - HELD THAT:- The look-out-notice could not have been issued after the period of six years from the date of registration of subject crime, especially in absence of any material to support respondents apprehension. The look-out-notice, therefore, cannot be sustained and the same deserves to be quashed and set aside. At the same time, it is deemed appropriate to put the petitioner to terms to cooperate with the investigating agency in the investigation of the subject crime. It is deemed appropriate to defer the quashment of look-out-notice by a reasonable period to facilitate effective investigation in the intervening period. At the same time, to address the immediate concern of the petitioner to travel abroad urgently, we find it appropriate to direct the suspension of operation of look-out-notice for a period of 10 days - The subject look-out-notice issued at the instance of respondent no.1, on 22nd June, 2018, shall remain suspended for the period of 10 days i.e. from 2nd September, 2019 till 11th September, 2019. Petition disposed off.
