     This petition is filed by the petitioner-State of Kerala,<\/p>\n
represented by the Public Prosecutor, High Court of Kerala,<\/p>\n
Ernakulam    (Superintendent    of   Police,  Vigilance   and Anti<\/p>\n
Corruption Bureau, Thrissur) against the order dated 14.9.2004 in<\/p>\n
C.M.P.No.1131\/03 in C.C.No.16\/2002, VC No.4\/97 of VACB,<\/p>\n
Thrissur, whereby accused 1 and 2 were discharged by the<\/p>\n
Enquiry Commissioner and Special Judge, Thrissur.             The<\/p>\n
respondent is the accused in V.C.No.4\/97 of Vigilance and Anti<\/p>\n
Corruption Bureau, Thrissur.     He was charge sheeted by the<\/p>\n
Deputy Superintendent of Police, VACB, Thrissur, for the offences<\/p>\n
punishable under section 13(2) read with Section 13(1)(d) of<\/p>\n
Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 and under Section 120B IPC.<\/p>\n
     2.   The statement of facts alleged in this petition are as<\/p>\n
follows:\n<\/p>\n
The respondent, while working as the Dean of College of<\/p>\n
Veterinary and Animal Science, Mannuthy issued purchase order<\/p>\n
dated 7.3.1995 to M\/s Asceptis Systems, Coimbatore for the<\/p>\n
CRL.M.C.No.152\/06                -2-<\/span><\/p>\n
supply of incinerator of 100 Kg capacity.     The 2nd accused is the<\/p>\n
proprietor of the said firm. The 2nd accused accepted the purchase<\/p>\n
order and an agreement was executed on 1.6.1995 by him for the<\/p>\n
supply of incinerator on the conditions stipulated in the agreement.<\/p>\n
Among other conditions, it was agreed that the payment of the<\/p>\n
machinery will be effected only after satisfactory installation of the<\/p>\n
machine and satisfactory demonstration of the same. Subsequently,<\/p>\n
the first accused conspired with the 2nd accused and as a result of the<\/p>\n
conspiracy the first accused effected payment of Rs.1,87,500\/- by way<\/p>\n
of cheque dated 28.6.2005 being 75% of the cost of the machinery.<\/p>\n
The 2nd accused failed to demonstrate the smooth functioning of the<\/p>\n
machine and thereby he had obtained undue pecuniary advantage of<\/p>\n
Rs.1,87,500\/- and resulted loss of the said amount to the Kerala<\/p>\n
Agricultural University. It is alleged that the 1st accused abused his<\/p>\n
position as a public servant for obtaining pecuniary advantage for<\/p>\n
himself and for the 2nd accused and hence, the accused 1 and 2 have<\/p>\n
committed the offence alleged by the prosecution.<\/p>\n
      3.   The first accused submitted C.M.P.No.1131\/03 praying for<\/p>\n
discharge of the case against him.     Both sides were heard by the<\/p>\n
learned Special Judge.     The learned Special Judge came to the<\/p>\n
CRL.M.C.No.152\/06                -3-<\/span><\/p>\n
conclusion that the agreement dated 1.6.1995 does not disclose any<\/p>\n
material to show that the 1st accused did anything to defeat the interest<\/p>\n
of the University and thereby to cause any unnecessary pecuniary loss<\/p>\n
to the University. It was also found that there are no grounds available<\/p>\n
on record for framing charge against accused 1 and 2 and that there<\/p>\n
are no materials on record to support the prosecution case for<\/p>\n
proceeding against the accused.      Therefore, accused 1 and 2 were<\/p>\n
discharged under Section 239 Cr.P.C.     Certified copy of that order is<\/p>\n
produced as Annexure I.\n<\/p>\n
     4.    Aggrieved by the order dated 14.9.2004, this petition is filed<\/p>\n
by the petitioner-State of Kerala, under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. with the<\/p>\n
prayer to set aside Annexure I order.\n<\/p>\n
     5.    Heard the learned Public Prosecutor and also the learned<\/p>\n
counsel for the respondent.\n<\/p>\n
     6.    It is argued by the learned Public Prosecutor that the 1st<\/p>\n
accused is the Chairman of the Store Purchase Committee and the<\/p>\n
prosecution case is that the 1st accused has taken an arbitrary decision<\/p>\n
for purchasing the incinerator in conspiracy with the 2nd accused and<\/p>\n
the reasons stated by the learned Special Judge for discharging both<\/p>\n
accused under Section 239 of Cr.P.C. are not based on sound reasons.<\/p>\n
CRL.M.C.No.152\/06                  -4-<\/span><\/p>\n
According to the learned Public Prosecutor, in the present case the<\/p>\n
Investigators have collected evidence which are sufficient to establish a<\/p>\n
prima facie case against the accused to proceed against them.<\/p>\n
      7.    The prayer in this petition is opposed by the learned counsel<\/p>\n
appearing for the respondent and submitted that this petition filed<\/p>\n
under Section 482        of Cr.P.C. is not maintainable and the proper<\/p>\n
remedy of the petitioner is to file a revision petition, which should be<\/p>\n
filed within 90 days of the date of order. Accordingly, the time for<\/p>\n
filing the revision petition had expired on 14.12.2004. Subsequently,<\/p>\n
this petition is filed on 13.1.2006 under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. which is<\/p>\n
not maintainable and is liable to be dismissed in limine.<\/p>\n
      8.    In the light of the argument advanced by the learned<\/p>\n
counsel for the respondent, I am not entering into the merits of the<\/p>\n
case. It is the specific case of the petitioner\/State of Kerala that the<\/p>\n
reasons stated by the learned Special Judge for discharging accused 1<\/p>\n
and 2 under Section 239 of Cr.P.C. are not based on correct facts of<\/p>\n
the case and the discussions made in the impugned order would reveal<\/p>\n
that the learned Special Judge has not properly considered the<\/p>\n
evidence collected by the Investigators in this case and has casually<\/p>\n
evaluated the same. On that basis, the present petition is filed under<\/p>\n
CRL.M.C.No.152\/06                -5-<\/span><\/p>\n
Section 482 of Cr.P.C. after the lapse of 1 year and 4 months with the<\/p>\n
specific contention that the prosecution has collected evidence which<\/p>\n
are sufficient to establish a prima facie case against accused 1 and 2<\/p>\n
and that the evidence collected by the Investigating Agency are<\/p>\n
sufficient to establish the guilt of the accused as alleged by the<\/p>\n
prosecution. Thus, it is evident that the State of Kerala is challenging<\/p>\n
the finding of the learned Enquiry Commissioner and Special Judge,<\/p>\n
whereby accused 1 and 2 were discharged under Section 239 of<\/p>\n
Cr.P.C., as per order dated 14.9.2004.\n<\/p>\n
      9.   The extraordinary power under section 482 of Cr.P.C. has<\/p>\n
to be exercised sparingly and should not be resorted to like remedy of<\/p>\n
appeal or revision. It is well settled that the inherent power under<\/p>\n
section 482 of Cr.P.C. can be exercised only when no other remedy is<\/p>\n
available to the litigant and no where a specific remedy is provided by<\/p>\n
the Statute.     Where the aggrieved party has equally efficacious<\/p>\n
alternative remedy under law, such extraordinary powers need not and<\/p>\n
should not be invoked by this Court. Extraordinary situations may call<\/p>\n
for extraordinary responses and it is only under such circumstances<\/p>\n
that this court would be justified in invoking the powers under Section<\/p>\n
482 of Cr.P.C. In the present case, the petitioner-State of Kerala has<\/p>\n
CRL.M.C.No.152\/06                -6-<\/span><\/p>\n
got a specific remedy of filing the revision petition. Even though they<\/p>\n
are aggrieved by the impugned order, which was passed on 14.9.2004,<\/p>\n
without resorting to that remedy, the present petition is filed after the<\/p>\n
lapse of 1 year and 4 months, for the reason that the revision would be<\/p>\n
barred by limitation. Rule of law and the procedure to be complied<\/p>\n
with under the Code of Criminal Procedure is applicable to all parties<\/p>\n
including the State of Kerala. No privilege can be given to the State of<\/p>\n
Kerala being the prosecuting agency, in the present case.         Where<\/p>\n
remedies are otherwise available under the ordinary provisions of the<\/p>\n
Code resort to such extraordinary inherent jurisdiction will not be<\/p>\n
justified, unless exceptional circumstances of a given case warrant<\/p>\n
invocation of such powers in the interests of justice.<\/p>\n
      10. The specific     finding of the Special Judge as per the<\/p>\n
impugned order is that even after perusal of the evidence available on<\/p>\n
record, there are no materials for establishing a prima face case<\/p>\n
against the accused and that no loss is caused to the University by the<\/p>\n
conduct of the accused. On a perusal of the impugned order, I find<\/p>\n
that it was passed by the learned Special Judge after considering the<\/p>\n
evidence collected by the Investigators(regarding the facts of the case)<\/p>\n
in its correct perspective, which cannot be interfered by this Court by<\/p>\n
CRL.M.C.No.152\/06                  -7-<\/span><\/p>\n
exercising the extraordinary inherent jurisdiction as envisaged under<\/p>\n
Section 482 of Cr.P.C.\n<\/p>\n
      11. According to the learned Public Prosecutor, only the first<\/p>\n
accused has filed an application for discharge and in that petition, the<\/p>\n
second accused was also discharged. On a perusal of the order, it is<\/p>\n
evident that the Special Judge has considered the evidence collected by<\/p>\n
the Investigators in the present case and since the case against the<\/p>\n
first accused was not well founded, the case against second accused<\/p>\n
also will not stand and both accused were discharged.<\/p>\n
      12.   The learned Special Judge has considered the totality of<\/p>\n
evidence collected by the Investigators in the present case and found<\/p>\n
that there is no prima face case to proceed against both the accused<\/p>\n
and they were discharged. Considering the facts and circumstances of<\/p>\n
this case, I find that there is no merit in this petition and is liable to be<\/p>\n
dismissed.\n<\/p>\n
      In the result, the Crl.M.C. is dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
                                        M.C.HARI RANI, JUDGE.\n<\/p>\n
