July 08, 2015 23:13

In a major setback to Tibetan leader Karmapa Ogyen Trinley Dorje, the Himachal Pradesh high court has set aside a trial court's decision to drop charges against him in a currency seizure case and directed the government to go ahead with the trial.

A single bench of the high court of Justice Sureshwar Thakur said the impugned order of May 21, 2012 passed by the judicial magistrate of Una is quashed and dismissed the application preferred before it by the Assistant Public Prosecutor under Section 321 of the Cr.PC for permission to withdraw from prosecution against Karmapa.

The court directed the government to proceed in accordance with law against him and made it clear that the findings recorded herein above shall have no bearing on the merits of the case.
