    Case Summary: CRMP/1228/2026 - Kunti Gupta v. State of Chhattisgarh The High Court of Chhattisgarh dismissed Kunti Gupta's petition seeking to quash an FIR and charge-sheet under Section 106(1) BNS (causing death by negligence). The court found a prima facie case existed: a worker died from electrocution on June 22, 2025, when an iron peg he was using to install a halogen light at the Damar Plant contacted an overhead 11 KV live wire. Investigation revealed negligence in workplace safety measures. The court rejected arguments that the incident was purely accidental or that Gupta (a plant director) had no involvement, holding such defenses require trial court examination. The petition was dismissed as the allegations and investigative material sufficiently disclose an offense warranting full trial. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
