THE INSPECTOR OF POLICE, SHOLINGHUR P.S vs GAJAPATHI VARMA — 15/2026

Court Decision Summary The II Additional District and Sessions Court, Arakkonam dismissed the discharge petition filed by accused A4 and A5 in a murder case involving Advocate Chakaravarthy. The court found sufficient "grave suspicion" to proceed with trial, rejecting arguments that the case relied solely on a co-accused's confession and lacked independent evidence. The court held that at the discharge stage, it cannot conduct a detailed examination of evidence, and the alleged motive—retaliation for the accused's brother's murder—combined with prosecution materials, warranted continuation of proceedings under BNS Act provisions and Arms Act charges.
