Ramesh Kumar Mandal v. State of U.P. Thru. Prin. Secy. Home Deptt. Lko and Another
Case brief
What is this about?
Criminal appeal challenging rejection of protest petition and acceptance of final report under SC/ST Act and BNS sections; dismissed on grounds that FIR-alleged steel-rod assault produced no injury on the complainant, the accused's presence elsewhere per the trial-court order was uncontested, and the complainant's own application showed a mere workplace 'hot talk' over late attendance. Counsel's grounds: absent Section 65(B) certificate, witness statements not recorded before Camera, non-speaking order. Relevant searches: protest petition vs final report acceptance; CRLA Lucknow Bench; FIR No. 0160/2024 Alambagh; FR 402/2025; BNS 115(2), 127(1), 190, 191(2), 352; SC/ST Act 3(1)Da, 3(1)Dha; certificate/electronic evidence objection in FR-challenge appeals.
What did the court decide?
Upon consideration of the record, submissions and the impugned order, the Court found that no interference was required with the trial Court's order dated 27.10.2025 rejecting the protest petition and affirming the final report.
