Rajkumar @ Raja v. State of U.P. and Another
Case brief
What is this about?
In a Section 482 Cr.P.C. application seeking quashing of cognizance and criminal proceedings, the Single Judge held that since an alternative remedy for discharge existed under Section 239 Cr.P.C., extraordinary jurisdiction was not appropriate. The application was dismissed, but the trial court was directed to decide the discharge petition within thirty days.
What did the court decide?
Prayer for quashing of cognizance order and entire criminal proceedings refused; discharge application to be filed within 30 days.
