GOPAL PRADHAN vs STATE OF CHHATTISGARH — SLP(Crl) No. 3649/2025

Summary: The Supreme Court dismissed Gopal Pradhan's Special Leave Petition challenging the High Court's order that summoned him as an accused in a criminal case. While finding technical merit in the petitioner's argument that courts cannot direct police to include names in charge-sheets, the Court held that issuing summons directly upon taking cognizance achieves the same result and cannot be faulted. All pending applications stand disposed of. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
