K.P.Udayan v. the State Police Chief
Case brief
What is this about?
The High Court closed two concurrent writ petitions (WP(C) Nos. 2396 and 6720 of 2021) challenging inaction by the police regarding complaints of financial misappropriation. The Court observed that the relevant Crime Branch had already registered the offenses and transferred them for investigation, rendering judicial intervention unnecessary.

The writ petitions are closed and treated as having no further proceedings in view of the registration of criminal cases.
