G. Ramachandran Achari v. the State of Kerala
Case brief
What is this about?
The High Court of Kerala dismissed a criminal miscellaneous petition filed by a defacto complainant seeking direction for further investigation on a referred charge. The court held that the matter involved a civil dispute that was already decided in favour of the accused, which took away the very substratum of the case, rendering the petition devoid of merit.
What did the court decide?
The criminal miscellaneous petition seeking direction for further investigation under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C. was dismissed.
