Chitra Das v. State of West Bengal & Anr.
Case brief
What is this about?
In a revisional application challenging an order directing an FIR to be registered under Section 156(3) CrPC, the court held that the petition of complaint prima facie spoke of an offence. The court refused to quash the order as it would smother the case at a very early stage and dismissed the petition instead.
What did the court decide?
The revisional application was dismissed. The order of the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate directing investigation was upheld. Interim order, if any, stood vacated.
