Non-bailable warrant against gutka baron discharged

By Our Legal Correspondent

NEW DELHI, APRIL 11. The Supreme Court today discharged a non-bailable warrant (NBW) issued by a Mumbai court against the gutka baron Rasiklal Manikchand Dhariwal in connection with his alleged nexus with the underworld don Dawood Ibrahim.

A Bench consisting of Justice K. G. Balakrishnan and Justice B. N. Srikrishna, discharged the NBW issued against Mr. Dhariwal observing that he had cooperated with the CBI in the investigation of the case. In a special leave petition, Prakash Dhariwal, Mr. Dhariwal's son, had challenged a Bombay High Court order refusing to stay the NBW issued against his father by the Mumbai police On March 11, the court was assured that Mr. Dhariwal would visit India on April 4 and appear before the CBI since he was cited only as a witness. The court, therefore, asked the CBI not to execute the NBW.

On April 4, Mr. Dhariwal appeared before the CBI and had reportedly denied any links with the underworld. The CBI questioned Mr. Dhariwal, an NRI, about his alleged links with the underworld don and the smuggling of two gutka manufacturing machines to Karachi through Dubai.
