Navneet Pathak v. State of U.P. and Another
Case brief
What is this about?
The High Court dismissed the applicant's application under Section 482 Cr.P.C. seeking to quash proceedings in a caste atrocity case. The dismissal was made because the applicant withdrew the application with a liberty to prefer a regular appeal under Section 14-A(1) of the SC/ST Act. The judge noted that the appeal route was maintainable, rendering the Section 482 petition untenable.
What did the court decide?
Application under Section 482 Cr.P.C. dismissed as withdrawn with liberty to prefer appeal.
