P&H High Court Allows M3M Director to Withdraw Plea to Quash Trial in Judge Bribery Case

The Punjab and Haryana High Court allowed M3M Group Director Roop Bansal to withdraw his plea seeking quashing of an FIR in a trial judge bribery case, subject to payment of ₹1 lakh as costs.

The Court recorded that the petitioner voluntarily undertook not to challenge the FIR further and that the respondents did not strongly oppose the withdrawal.

The case relates to allegations that a trial court judge received illegal gratification to extend undue favours to M3M and IREO Group promoters, with parallel proceedings under the PMLA.
