A court here on Friday dismissed a case related to Model Code of Conduct violation by PDP leader and MLA Waheed-Ur-Rehman Parra during parliamentary elections in south Kashmir’s Pulwama district last year.
Dismissing the case, Additional Special Mobile Magistrate, Awantipora, Muneer Ahmad Bhat said that following the principles of law laid down by the Supreme Court and the facts of the case, no cognisance is taken of the offence under section 188 of the Indian Penal Code.
“The challan (police chargesheet) is dismissed and the accused (Para) is released. The bail bonds and personal bonds of the accused are discharged. The seized documents/articles, if any, shall be delivered to the rightful owner/claimant who is entitled to that on execution of his personal bond, and they shall be held subject to orders, if any, of the appellate court,” the court said.
