Mr. Manjegowda N C @ Chethan v. the State of Karnataka
Case brief
What is this about?
Withdrawal of appeal at admission stage; Karnataka High Court, CRL.A No. 190 of 2026, decided 23-02-2026 by G Basavaraja J. Appeal under S. 14(A)(2) SC/ST (POA) Act, 2015 against order dated 23.12.2025 in Crl.Misc.No.10846/2025 (LXX Addl. City Civil and Sessions Judge and Special Judge, Bengaluru-CCH-71) concerning Cr. No.0163/2025, Sheshadripuram Police Station, Bengaluru (offences under SS. 64, 69, 318(2) BNSS and 3(1)(w)(1)(2), 3(2)(VA)). Counsel Sri. Athreya C Shekar filed memo for withdrawal seeking liberty to approach the Sessions Court; Court recorded memo and disposed of appeal as withdrawn. Useful only as a disposal-without-adjudication precedent; no ratio on merits, no cases cited.
What did the court decide?
Appeal disposed of as withdrawn on the memo filed by counsel for the appellant; the memo (which sought liberty to approach the Sessions Court after exhausting that remedy) was placed on record, but the operative order grants no further relief.
