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. There is no direct evidence regarding rash and negligent driving
of the vehicle on the public road by 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.
