CHINTU RAM vs STATE OF BIHAR AND OTHERS — 1/2025

Summary The Sessions Judge allowed the revision petition and set aside the lower court's order, holding that when a police report exonerates some accused persons, the Judicial Magistrate must mandatorily provide notice and opportunity of hearing to the informant before accepting such report. The court reasoned that exonerating accused amounts to filing a final report affecting the informant's interests, and remitted the matter back to the Magistrate for fresh consideration with proper notice to the informant.
