Case History
Summary: The Supreme Court heard the State of A.P.'s appeal challenging a High Court order that upheld a Sessions Judge's decision to overturn a Magistrate's direction for further inquiry under Section 202, Cr.P.C. The Court allowed the deletion of two respondents and granted leave. The Court found that the Magistrate's order dated 23rd April, 1997 did not constitute cognizance of the offense but merely directed further inquiry. Accordingly, the Court set aside both the High Court and Sessions Judge's orders and directed the Magistrate to proceed with the Section 202 inquiry and thereafter continue with criminal proceedings in accordance with law.
