Judgment Narayan Roy, J. 1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and also learned counsel for the Central Revenue. 2. By this application, the petitioner has prayed for quashing the entire criminal prosecution launched against him in Complaint Case No. 382(c) of 1992, pertaining to Trial No. 605 of 1992 whereby and whereunder the learned Special Judge, Economic Offences, Patna, has taken cognizance of the offence under Sections 276C and 277 of the Income-tax Act, 1961. 3. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner, inter alia, submitted that the appeal filed by him for deletion of all additions has been allowed and direction imposing penalty for additions has been set aside. In this connection, my attention has been drawn to an order dated August 30, 1996, passed by the Appellate Authority as contained in annexure-9 to the supplementary affidavit. Since all the additions made have been deleted and imposition of penalty under Sec. 271(1)(c) has been set aside by the Appellate Authority, in my opinion, the criminal prosecution launched against the petitioner under Secs. 27GC and 277 of the Income-tax Act will be an abuse of process of the court. 4. I, therefore, allow this application and quash the entire criminal prosecution launched against the petitioner including the order taking cognizance dated April 30, 1992.
