THE STATE OF GUJARAT vs DHARMESHBHAI NARESHBHAI PARMAR — 1782/2026

The Gujarat High Court quashed a police chargesheet against Dharmeshbhai Nareshbhai Parmar, finding that the court lacked jurisdiction to take cognizance because no written complaint was filed by the Police Commissioner or superior officer as mandated by CrPC Section 195. The court held that provisions of Section 195 are mandatory, and without proper complaint in writing from the required authority, the proceedings were void ab initio, thereby granting the accused relief from further prosecution.
