Akhtar Ovaishi v. State of U.P. and Another
Case brief
What is this about?
Summoning order charging applicant under Sections 406 and 420 IPC was challenged as legally unsustainable since both sections cannot operate simultaneously. Relying on cited precedent, the High Court set aside the summoning order and remanded for a fresh order considering the three-member report and the earlier final report in the FIR outcome.
What did the court decide?
Impugned summoning order dated 26.2.2024 set aside; matter remanded to trial court for fresh order within three months after hearing complainant.
