Q/84 Criminal Miscellaneous No. 296-Q/84 Date of Judgment:1985-05-07 Reported As: 1986 SCMR 38 Result: Leave refused Judgment ORDER SHAFIUR RAHMAN, J.--This order will dispose of all the three petitions as common questions of law arise therein. Leave is refused with the observation that the objections to the jurisdiction of the Special Court on the ground of retrospectivity, and on other legal grounds taken up in the High Court and before us, are allowed to be raised before the Special Court. This question alongwith the prayer for acquittal (under section 249-A or 265-K, Cr.P.C.) shall be decided by the Special Court first. Pending the disposal of such jurisdictional questions and the question of acquittal, the accused not already exempted or to be exempted in future from attendance before Special Court shall personally attend the hearing and will not be arrested provided they continue to attend on each date of hearing. Keeping in view the nature of this case and its special features, the Special Court may consider deciding this matter very early, if possible, within two months from today.
