PANJIM: The Supreme Court has stayed the order of the High Court of Bombay at Goa which had ordered the accused Congress MLA Mauvin Godinho to appear before the Trial court on November 30, 2007.
Godinho had approached the Division bench of Justice Ashok Bhan and Justice DK Jain with a special leave petition for stay of the trial.
The High Court had found sufficient prima facie material against Godinho to frame charges against him for corruption and conspiracy in a multi-crore power rebate scam. While partly allowing the revision petition, the Court observed that charge shall be framed as under section 13 (1)(d)(i) and (iii) of the Prevention of Corruption Act read with section 120 B of IPC and the accused tried in accordance with law.
A criminal revision application was filed in the High Court after the Sessions judge on December 8, 2006 ordered framing of charges against all the accused for offences punishable under section 120-B, 409, 420, 465,468, 471 of the IPC and section 13 (1)(d)(i) and section 13 (1)(d)(ii) read with 13 (2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988.
Senior counsel KTS Tulsi and Shailendra Bhobe appeared for Godinho
