What is this about?
Petitioner sought restoration of a writ petition and intervention alleging police converted an offence under Sections 302/34 IPC into one under Sections 279/304A IPC. The restoration application was allowed and the petition restored, but the main petition was dismissed as premature since investigation was incomplete and chargesheet not yet filed.
What did the court decide?
Application for restoration allowed and petition restored; main writ petition dismissed with liberty to agitate before the trial court after chargesheet is filed.
