Bihar govt moves court to recant cases against Nepal's Maoists

February 01, 2012 17:05

The Bihar government moved a local court today seeking to withdraw cases lodged against 11 Nepal Maoist leaders, apparently following a request from the Union home ministry.

Public prosecutor Jai Prakash Singh said he had filed a petition in the court of additional district judge (IX) Bashishtha Narain Singh, under section 321 of the Criminal Procedure Code under which the public prosecutor or assistant public prosecutor in-charge of a case may, with the consent of the court at any time before the judgment is pronounced, withdraw from the prosecution of any person.
