Dismissed

Ram Singh S/O Balvir Singh Lora B/C Jat v. State of Rajasthan

Rajasthan HC13 Sept 2022CRLAS/296/2020

Case brief

AI extract

What is this about?

Old Crl.A. allowed. This order dismisses a challenge to the incumbent Special Court taking cognizance under Section 190 CrPC. The court holds that Section 190 CrPC is divisible from Section 14(b) of POCSO; Special Courts can take cognizance, and no error was committed.

What did the court decide?

Interim order of the High Court setting aside the cognizance and granting bail was deemed groundless and must fail.
