Petitioner sought a direct order to add Section 304(B) IPC to the charge sheet. The Court held the prayer misconceived as the appropriate remedy under the Criminal Procedure Code is available, and disposed of the matter without adjudication.
Prayer to add offence under Section 304(B) IPC to charge sheet was not allowed; CRLMC disposed of.
