1988 (11) TMI 119 - HC - Central Excise

Summary

The High Court of Orissa at Cuttack upheld the order of cognizance against the petitioners in a case involving violations of the Central Excises and Salt Act, 1944. The court found sufficient grounds to proceed based on the prosecution report and supporting documents, rejecting the argument that detailed reasons were required at the stage of cognizance. The petitioners can seek discharge if prosecution evidence fails to establish a case against them. The criminal miscellaneous case was dismissed.
