Gopal Chandra Kar v. State of Odisha
Case brief
What is this about?
The High Court of Orissa dismissed a criminal revisional petition seeking bail. It held that the argument regarding the petitioner's absence from the crime spot, supported by RTI documents, is a ground for the trial court to appreciate and is not a ground for High Court interference at the summary disposal stage, dismissing the petition on that basis.
What did the court decide?
The revisional petition CRLMC No. 1134 of 2020 was disposed of without granting interference on the ground that the trial court must consider the absence argument.
