Government of Gujarat vs GOSHVAMI KAMLESHPURI RAMESHPURI — 194/2026

The court held that cognizance taken by the Magistrate of offences under sections 184 and 185 of the Motor Vehicles Act based on a police charge sheet submitted after investigation in violation of section 155(2) of the CrPC is illegal and liable to be quashed. The court reasoned that for non-cognizable offences under the Motor Vehicles Act, prior permission from the Magistrate is mandatory before police investigation, and the charge sheet cannot be treated as a valid complaint when this procedure is violated, rendering the entire proceeding illegal. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
