Mahipal Singh v. State of Rajasthan
Case brief
What is this about?
The single-judge High Court of Rajasthan allowed a criminal writ petition filed by Mahipal Singh invoking inherent powers under Section 482 CrPC to quash FOIR proceedings. The court held that since the petitioner is on police bail since December 22, 2022, extension proceedings cannot be termed as fresh proceedings requiring quashing.
What did the court decide?
The criminal writ petition was allowed and the underlying false implication order against the petitioner was set aside/quashed.
