Dy. Chief Controller Of Imports & ... vs Roshanlal Agarwal & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the Special Court (Economic Offences) had jurisdiction to try offences under the Indian Penal Code (IPC) in addition to those specified in the Schedule of the notification establishing the Court. The Court found that the High Court's ruling, which limited the Special Court's jurisdiction to only the specified Acts, was contrary to the provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure, particularly Section 3(4). Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order and reinstated the jurisdiction of the Special Court to include IPC offences, allowing the appeals filed by the Deputy Chief Controller of Imports and Exports.
