2024 (1) TMI 127 - RAJASTHAN HIGH COURTReview petition - search and seizure - indulging in vexatious search in the premises of the petitioner-company - seeking to restrain the respondents from disposing of or tinkering with the documents taken away from the petitioner-company during search - HELD THAT:- Recovery of certain materials during the course of search carried out in different premises, have also been taken into consideration. The material, prima facie, disclosing involvement of the present review petitioner has also been taken note of. All the materials which have been collected by the respondents during the course of search and other proceedings were noticed by the Court and only thereafter certain observations have been made. It is not a case where this Court has written any finding of guilt against the present review petitioner—Natwar Lal Sharda. However, existence of material on record prima facie indicating involvement of the present review petitioner along with other Directors of the company and other persons have been considered while examining the allegations that the search carried out in the business premises of the company and its Director and family members was vexatious, malicious and without any material whatsoever. What weight is required to be given to those materials would be a matter to be considered in various proceedings drawn by the Department and in other criminal proceedings. This Court only examined the material on record to find out whether the search carried out in the premises of the company could be said to be vexatious. The writ petition has been dismissed.
