Mulchand Motilal Raka Vs. State of Maharashtra,
1996(1) Bom. C.R.316, it was held that Section 258 of Cr. P.C., can be
resorted to where the special or unusual circumstances exists, such as non-
appearance of the witnesses/accused before the Court for considerable
time. Record shows that, despite of opportunities accused failed to appear
before the court and therefore, matter could not proceed further. Further
more, prosecution failed to secure the presence of the accused. No
statement of independent witnesses have been recorded by Investigating
Officer during investigation. Even complete trial would not result into
conviction of accused. Therefore, this is a fit case wherein provisions of
section 258 of Cr.P.C. can be resorted to stop the proceeding. Hence,
following order is passed.
