State of Maharashtra vs Kiran Rohidas Landge and Other — 1995/2025

SUMMARY The Judicial Magistrate First Class at Pimpri rejected the accused's application and dismissed their objections to the charge sheet filed in Crime No. 1112/2018. The court held that the FIR was registered within the statutory limitation period (10 days from the alleged offense), so the subsequent 6.8-year delay in filing the charge sheet did not bar the proceedings under Section 468 CrPC. The court also rejected arguments regarding absence of sanction under Section 197 CrPC, finding the alleged offenses (extortion, assault, wrongful restraint) were personal crimes unrelated to official duties, and confirmed its territorial jurisdiction over the matter.
