Mahendrakumar K H Pi vs P B Ramakrishna on 25 April, 2024
Further, it appears from the decisions of
Hon'ble High Court of Karnataka in case crl petition
No.100916/2023 in case between Srikanth Vs. State of
Karnataka and others, the Hon'ble High Court of
Karnataka has discussed Hon'ble Apex Court case i.e.,
Lalitha Kumari Vs. Government of Uttara Pradesh, Hon'ble
Apex Court held in this case that, " in case of receipt of
information regarding cognizable offence and as per
section 154(1) of Cr.P.C., registration of the FIR at the
earliest point of time i.e., immediately after receipt of
such information, is general rule. But, in these
matters though such information regarding
commission of cognizable offence is said to have been
received by the police, even then there is no
registration of the FIR immediately after the receipt of
such information and even there is no material
produced by the prosecution in these cases that they
have entered atleast the information received. In the
diaries kept in the said Police Stations and what is
the said information, no documents are produced
before the court. Therefore, the mandatory
16
requirement of section 154(1) of Cr.P.C., is not
followed by police before proceeding to the spot on the
basis of said information.
