During the proceeding in JMFC court said that in view of provisions of section 26 (A) to 26 (E) of the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956, the court of JMFC has no jurisdiction to entertain any proceeding under this act, even the remand proceeding.
This observation of the court have put question mark on homework and study of officials of Economic Offences Wing (EoW) of Crime Branch of city police. Sources said it is surprising that EoW officials and law officer seemed unaware about the constitutional provisions while handling the SCRA matter. Had they not read the law book before cracking down on Dabba traders, the set back in the court could have been avoided. Or it seems EoW officials acted in a haste which enabled the key players to steal the march over police, they claimed.
Sources further informed that the EoW officials have not yet collected concrete evidence in the case so far. EoW’s raids against Dabba traders were conducted almost after five months of the complaint lodged with DCP EoW Deepali Masirkar. A section of officers believed that timing of the raid proved to be wrong as many officials were busy in police recruitment drive during the entire process.
The timing of raid on Dabba traders it seems was meant to showcase city police brilliance ahead of programme to include Kamptee police stations within the jurisdiction of Commissionerate. Chief minister Devendra Fadnavis and Director General of Police were in Nagpur from Friday night for function of Kamptee police station.
The accused were produced in the court on Friday and in last few days EoW has not made much progress in unravelling the Dabba traders operation and network as the key accused, Veena Sarda and Ravi Agrawal and eight others are absconding. Similarly, many officials were on leave on Saturday and Sunday. Hence, cops cited same grounds on Monday for extending PCR of the accused. DCP Masirkar could not be reached for her comment as she was did not respond to calls.
