DY.CHIEF CONTROLLER OF IMPORTS & EXPORTS vs ROSHANLAL AGARWAL

The Supreme Court held that the Special Court (Economic Offences) had jurisdiction only to try offences under the specific Acts mentioned in the Schedule of the notification establishing it, and not under the Indian Penal Code. The Court found that the High Court's decision to discharge the respondents was correct as the Special Court had failed to comply with the procedural requirements of Section 200 Cr.P.C. and lacked jurisdiction under Section 11 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Consequently, the appeals by the Deputy Chief Controller of Imports and Exports were dismissed, affirming the High Court's order.
