    Hon'ble Shri Justice M. W. ChandwaniView PDF

    The High Court quashed the FIR and chargesheet against Chandrakumar for alleged obscene language and criminal intimidation (IPC §294, 506). The court found no prima facie case under §294 because mere abusive words without lascivious elements and proven annoyance cannot constitute obscenity. For §506, the court held that since it's a non-cognizable offence, police required prior magistrate authorization under CrPC §155(2), which was absent, making continued prosecution an abuse of process.
