Chalasani Krishna Anjaneya Kumar v. State of Karnataka
Case brief
What is this about?
Karnataka High Court, Bengaluru; WP No. 34628 of 2025 (GM-POLICE); Justice B M Shyam Prasad; order dated 20 January 2026; complainant in FIR Crime No. 188/2025 (Avalahally/Avalahalli Police) sought direction under Articles 226 and 227 for further investigation and supplementary charge sheet before the I Addl. Chief Judicial Magistrate within two months, alleging the charge sheet overlooked material identifying the assailants; State (AGA B. Ravindranath) contended remedies lie in the pending criminal proceedings; held: Article 226 intervention not justified once charge sheet filed; petition disposed of without prejudice to availing remedies in pending proceedings.
What did the court decide?
Finding considerable force in the Additional Government Advocate's submission that, as the charge sheet is already filed, the petitioner must avail the remedy available in law in the pending criminal proceedings and the Court's intervention under Article 226 of the Constitution of India will not be justified, the Court disposed of the petition without prejudice to the petitioner availing such remedies in the pending proceedings.
