             The common petitioner in these two revision petitions<\/p>\n
is the first accused(Nataraja Aiyer) in C.C.No.3\/2001 on the file of<\/p>\n
the Special Judge(SPE\/CBI)-II, Ernakulam.                     He challenges the<\/p>\n
common order dated 29.10.2007 passed by the Special Judge<\/p>\n
(SPE\/CBI)-II, Ernakulam in Crl.M.P.Nos.894\/07 and 895\/07 in<\/p>\n
C.C.No.3\/2001.\n<\/p>\n
      2.     The case was investigated by the CBI which filed the<\/p>\n
final report originally against 8 accused persons. Three among<\/p>\n
the 8 accused persons were made approvers of whom one died<\/p>\n
and two survived.        The court below took cognizance of the<\/p>\n
offences against the surviving 5 accused persons and registered<\/p>\n
the case as C.C.No.3\/2001.\n<\/p>\n
      3.     The case of the prosecution can be summarised as<\/p>\n
follows:-\n<\/p>\n
      The first accused(revision petitioner) was the Deputy<\/p>\n
Manager, Refinery Co-ordination in-charge of South Tanker berth<\/p>\n
at Ernakulam during the period from January to May, 2000. He<\/p>\n
Crl.R.P.Nos.4023&4024\/07
\n                                 : 2 :<\/span><\/p>\n
entered into a criminal conspiracy with the other accused for the<\/p>\n
purpose of committing theft and misappropriation of high speed<\/p>\n
diesel oil discharged from the tanker ships to the IOC, BPC, HPC,<\/p>\n
etc. In prosecution of the common object of the said criminal<\/p>\n
conspiracy, A1, A2 and A5 during the intervening night of<\/p>\n
22\/23.4.2000, 15\/16.5.2000 and 28\/29.5.2000 dishonestly diverted<\/p>\n
high speed diesel oil from south tanker berth to the IOC jetty and<\/p>\n
illegally loaded 1,10,000 litres high speed diesel oil in a Dolphin<\/p>\n
barge owned by A2 and A5 and conveyed the same to Bava<\/p>\n
Enterprises, a petrol pump owned by A3 and A4 and located at<\/p>\n
Thoppumpady.        The accused thus made wrongful gain to<\/p>\n
themselves and caused wrongful loss to the oil companies. The<\/p>\n
accused have thereby committed an offence under section 13(1)<\/p>\n
(c) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 and punishable under<\/p>\n
sections 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 and<\/p>\n
sections 409 and 411 read with section 120B IPC.<\/p>\n
      4.     On the side of the prosecution 52 witnesses were<\/p>\n
examined.      After the close of the prosecution evidence, the<\/p>\n
accused were questioned under section 313(1)(b) Cr.P.C. with<\/p>\n
regard to the incriminating circumstances appearing against them<\/p>\n
Crl.R.P.Nos.4023&4024\/07
\n                                 : 3 :<\/span><\/p>\n
in the evidence for the prosecution.           They denied those<\/p>\n
circumstances and maintained their innocence. The case was<\/p>\n
thereafter posted for defence evidence.        On the side of the<\/p>\n
revision petitioner he cited 3 witnesses.       The first witness<\/p>\n
E.K.Venugopal is a retired Senior Refinery Co-ordinator of Indian<\/p>\n
Oil Corporation, Ambalamugal. In fact, he was prosecution charge<\/p>\n
witness No.55 who was given up by the prosecution. He was cited<\/p>\n
to speak about the discharge programme and co-ordination work<\/p>\n
carried out by the IOC at the tanker jetty. The 2nd witness was the<\/p>\n
Superintendent of Central Excise and Customs(Petroleum Wing),<\/p>\n
Ernakulam. He was cited to speak about the statements in AR-3A<\/p>\n
Forms submitted by various oil companies specifying the<\/p>\n
particulars    of  oil  receipt.     The   3rd witness    was  one<\/p>\n
C.M.Chandrakanthan,       Chief  Terminal    Manager,   Indian  Oil<\/p>\n
Corporation, Trichy to speak about the role of Port Co-ordinator at<\/p>\n
the tanker jetty and also about the enquiry conducted by the IOC<\/p>\n
with respect to the alleged incident.     The petition filed by the<\/p>\n
revision petitioner before the court below to summon the aforesaid<\/p>\n
3 witnesses was Crl.M.P.No.895\/07. The revision petitioner had<\/p>\n
also filed Crl.M.P.No.894\/07 seeking to summon two documents.<\/p>\n
Crl.R.P.Nos.4023&4024\/07
\n                                  : 4 :<\/span><\/p>\n
The first document was AR-3A Forms submitted by the respective<\/p>\n
oil companies specifying the particulars of oil receipt during the<\/p>\n
period from January to October 2000. It was to prove those Forms<\/p>\n
that the second witness was cited. The other document which<\/p>\n
was sought to be summoned was the file maintained by the CJM,<\/p>\n
Ernakulam as C1-3307\/01 in RC 7\/A\/2000 of CBI and in the<\/p>\n
custody of the Sheristadar of the CJM Court, Ernakulam to prove<\/p>\n
the mode of recording the 164 statements of the approvers.<\/p>\n
According to the revision petitioner, sufficient safeguards were not<\/p>\n
taken before the 164 statements of those approvers were<\/p>\n
recorded and the Magistrate who recorded the 164 statements<\/p>\n
when examined before court was not able to confirm or deny<\/p>\n
whether the statements were recorded consecutively after giving<\/p>\n
them sufficient time for reflection.\n<\/p>\n
      5.     The aforesaid applications filed by the revision<\/p>\n
petitioner were opposed by the CBI and the court below as per the<\/p>\n
common order dated 29.10.2007 permitted examination of the 3rd<\/p>\n
witness only but refused examination of the first two defence<\/p>\n
witnesses. The court below also dismissed Crl.M.P.No.894\/07 for<\/p>\n
summoning the aforesaid two documents. It is the said common<\/p>\n
Crl.R.P.Nos.4023&4024\/07
\n                                 : 5 :<\/span><\/p>\n
order which assailed in these revisions.\n<\/p>\n
      6.     I heard Advocate Sri.S.Gopakumaran Nair, the learned<\/p>\n
counsel appearing for the revision petitioner and Advocate<\/p>\n
Sri.S.Sreekumar, the learned standing counsel for the CBI.<\/p>\n
      7.     Sri.S.Sreekumar,   the    learned   standing  counsel<\/p>\n
appearing for the CBI, made the following submissions before me<\/p>\n
in support of the impugned order:-\n<\/p>\n
      The purpose of examining the two other witnesses and<\/p>\n
summoning the said documents was only to protract the trial of the<\/p>\n
case. The prosecution has already examined witnesses to speak<\/p>\n
about the discharge programme and co-ordination work carried on<\/p>\n
by the IOC at the tanker jetty and the examination of the first<\/p>\n
defence witness will only lead to duplication of evidence. The AR-<\/p>\n
3A Forms submitted by the respective oil companies giving<\/p>\n
particulars of oil supply is also unnecessary. The administration<\/p>\n
file   maintained by the CJM, Ernakulam with regard to the<\/p>\n
procedure followed by the Magistrate while recording the 164<\/p>\n
statements of the approvers also cannot be summoned since the<\/p>\n
Magistrate has already testified before court. There is also the<\/p>\n
presumption under section 80 of the Evidence Act with regard to<\/p>\n
Crl.R.P.Nos.4023&4024\/07
\n                                  : 6 :<\/span><\/p>\n
the same.\n<\/p>\n
       8.    After hearing both sides and after perusing the<\/p>\n
impugned order, I do not think that the examination of the three<\/p>\n
witnesses cited by the revision petitioner is totally irrelevant to the<\/p>\n
fact in issue before the court below. The revision petitioner has a<\/p>\n
contention that he was in charge of the refinery co-ordination of<\/p>\n
the discharge operations of IOC only and that he had no role to<\/p>\n
play in the discharge of high speed diesel oil to BPC, HPC, etc. It<\/p>\n
was this aspect of the matter that is sought to be proved by the<\/p>\n
first defence witness. The second witness cited is for proving AR-<\/p>\n
3A Forms and according to the revision petitioner, none of the oil<\/p>\n
companies had complained of short delivery of high speed diesel<\/p>\n
oil and this is sought to be proved by the second witness for<\/p>\n
whose examination the first set of documents made mention of in<\/p>\n
Crl.M.P.No.894\/07 is to be necessarily summoned. The second<\/p>\n
document, namely the file pertaining to the 164 examination of the<\/p>\n
approvers, also can be pressed into service by the revision<\/p>\n
petitioner to substantiate his contention that the approvers were<\/p>\n
not given sufficient time for reflection. The question as to whether<\/p>\n
they were given time for reflection and if not, what is the probative<\/p>\n
Crl.R.P.Nos.4023&4024\/07
\n                                   : 7 :<\/span><\/p>\n
value of their statement, etc. are matters for the trial court to<\/p>\n
consider after the trial is over. At any rate, there is no justification<\/p>\n
to shut out evidence as proposed by the revision petitioner.<\/p>\n
Accordingly, Crl.M.P.No.894\/07 will stand allowed in toto and<\/p>\n
Crl.M.P.No.895\/07 will stand allowed in respect of defence witness<\/p>\n
Nos.1 and 2. I am told that the 3rd witness cited by the revision<\/p>\n
petitioner is scheduled for examination today and he shall be<\/p>\n
examined without undue delay. I am also told that the first and<\/p>\n
second witnesses cited by the revision petitioner are both local<\/p>\n
witnesses easily available for examination. Those two witnesses<\/p>\n
shall be summoned and examined without unnecessary delay.<\/p>\n
The defence evidence of the revision petitioner shall be concluded<\/p>\n
within three weeks of commencement of the examination of the<\/p>\n
first defence witness.\n<\/p>\n
       In the result, these revisions are allowed as above.<\/p>\n
                                              (V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE)
