The Hindu
Bench says, ‘If the appeal goes, everything goes, nothing remains’
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) and the Maharashtra government on Friday said there was no need for the magistrate’s report into the factors that led to be submitted before the Bombay High Court. Additional Solicitor General Anil Singh, for the NIA, told a division bench of Justices SS Shinde and NJ Jamadar that since Swamy’s appeal (challenging NIA court’s rejection of his bail) was abated, there was no question of having a report in this appeal. He argued that every appeal as per the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) shall be abated on the death of the accused, provided the appeal was against the sentence or conviction.
