NIA Court Can Entertain Application For Tender Of Pardon Preferred At Investigation Stage U/S 306 CrPC
Case: Suresh Raj v. National Investigation Agency
Coram: Justice K. Vinod Chandran and Justice C. Jayachandran
Case No.: CRL.A NO. 213 OF 2022
Court Observation: “Being a court of original criminal jurisdiction and having been specifically bestowed with the power to take congnizance, without a formal commitment of the case, a Special Court can exercise the powers to grant pardon, either under Section 306 or under Section 307, at any stage of the proceedings; of course subject to the propriety, good faith and bona fides of exercise of such power, which also has to be made judiciously.”
“The person to whom pardon is to be tendered need not necessarily be an accused; rather it is not a sine qua non. The fact that in many an occasion, pardon is being granted to an accused person, is no indication for a conclusion that such person should always be arraigned as an accused person.”
