    Case Summary: W.P.(Cr.) 331/2025 Court Decision: The Jharkhand High Court quashed criminal proceedings against three Bokaro Steel Limited officials (Hari Mohan Jha, Prabhakar Kumar, and Alok Chawla) for their alleged role in a lathi charge that killed one protester during an April 2025 demonstration. Key Reasoning: The court found no credible evidence the officials ordered the force. CCTV and drone footage showed agitators, not officials, initiated violence through vandalism and stone-pelting. The protest violated administrative restrictions and the allegations were characterized as vexatious, making continued prosecution an abuse of judicial process. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
