Orders
The writ petition filed by Rekha Khatun was dismissed as not maintainable because a charge-sheet had already been filed in the underlying criminal case (Burwan Police Station Case No.485 of 2023) and the Magistrate had taken cognizance of the offence. The court held that once criminal proceedings reach the charge-sheet and cognizance stage, a writ petition under Article 226 cannot be entertained. However, the dismissal does not bar the petitioner from pursuing remedies available under criminal law. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
