appeal in the Supreme Court of India order passed by Gujarat High Court dated
09/ 12/ 1999 in the case of LinderFrank Wolfgang of Germany in CMA No. 643/
1999
Please refer to

It is felt that
the decision rendered by the Hon�ble High Court in the present appeal has far
reaching repercussions as it has virtually curtailed the power of Union of India

Code of Criminal Procedure. It is there fore, requested that necessary action
may be immediately taken for filing SLP against this order of Hon�ble High
