What is this about?

Quashing petition; S.482 Cr.PC; FIR Crime No.172/2014 Vijayanagar Police Station Bangalore; charge sheet CC No.22581/2014 dated 12.04.2014 I ACMM Bengaluru; dismissal as infructuous; overlapping challenge in Crl.P.No.9778/2022 already allowed; petitioners Kempamma and Gangaiah; respondents State of Karnataka and Pushpa Boregowda; single-judge order, Justice Ravi V Hosmani, dated 10 July 2026.

What did the court decide?

The Court took the HCGP's memo on record and dismissed the criminal petition as infructuous, since this Court had already allowed Crl.P.no.9778/2022 challenging the same charge sheet arising out of Crime No.172/2014. The merits of the quashing prayer were not adjudicated. ¶35-36
