Pantt, JJ held that a grave criminal offence or serious economic offence or for that matter the offence that has the potentiality to create a dent in the financial health of the institutions, is not to be quashed on the ground that there is delay in trial or the principle that when the matter has been settled it should be quashed to avoid the load on the system.<\/p>\n<p >In the case where the respondent, a former Assistant Commissioner of Commercial Taxes along with her late husband applied for loans on the basis of forged documents in more than one bank, advanced a plea that she had signed the documents either as a guarantor or as a co-applicant, and that she is a lady and she was following her late husband\u2019s commands, the Court rejected her plea after considering that the respondent who has voluntarily retired from the post of Assistant Commissioner of Commercial Taxes and thereafter became a member of Rajya Sabha. The Court noted that the assertions as regards the ignorance are a mere pretence and sans substance given the facts. Lack of awareness, knowledge or intent is neither to be considered nor accepted in economic offences.<\/p>\n<p >Unimpressed by the argument based on the gender of the respondent, the Court went on to say that an offence under the criminal law is an offence and it does not depend upon the gender of an accused. Though there are certain provisions in CrPC relating to exercise of jurisdiction under Section 437, etc. therein but that altogether pertains to a different sphere. A person committing a murder or getting involved in a financial scam or forgery of documents, cannot claim discharge or acquittal on the ground of her gender as that is neither constitutionally nor statutorily a valid argument. <i>State v.
