Case Title: Chanchalapati Das vs State of West Bengal and Madhupandit Das vs State of West Bengal., (2023SC)
Coram: Justices Ajay Rastogi and Bela Trivedi
The Supreme Court, while deciding an application under Section 482 Cr.P.C, quashed a criminal case against the President and Vice President of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), Bengaluru, Madhu Pandit Dasa and Chanchalapati Dasa respectively, which was lodged at the instance of ISKCON Kolkata.
The Court noted that the complaint in the case was filed in 2009, almost eight years after the alleged theft of the bus took place in 2001. Thus, the Court opined that the “inordinate delay of eight years in filing the complaint in the court itself would be a sufficient ground to quash the proceeding”.
