THE STATE OF GUJARAT vs RAJENDRASINH NARPATSINH JADEJA Advocate - A K KHATRI — 262/2026

Summary The Gujarat High Court discharged the accused under Section 262 of the CrPC, finding that the prosecution's charge sheet lacked sufficient material to establish a case beyond the statement of a co-accused. The court held that at the discharge stage, while accepting the prosecution's allegations as true, there must still be credible evidence reasonably connecting the accused to the crime. The judgment also criticized the practice of "designed FIRs" in prohibition cases where accused persons escape despite police having prior information, directing the State to implement monitoring mechanisms for such cases.
