Sadiq B. Hanchinmani vs The State Of Karnataka on 4 November, 2025

‘18. When a Magistrate receives a complaint he is not bound to take cognizance if the facts alleged in the complaint disclose the commission of an offence. The Magistrate has discretion in the matter. If on a reading of the complaint, he finds that the allegations therein disclose a cognizable offence and the forwarding of the complaint to the police for investigation under Section 156(3) will be conducive to justice and save the valuable time of the Magistrate from being wasted in enquiring into a matter which was primarily the duty of the police to investigate, he will be justified in adopting that course as an alternative to taking cognizance of the offence itself. As said earlier, in the case of a complaint regarding the commission of cognizable offence, the power under Section 156(3) can be invoked by the Magistrate before he takes cognizance of the offence under Section 190(1)(a). However, if he once takes such cognizance and embarks upon the procedure embodied in Chapter XV, he is not competent to revert back to the pre- cognizance stage and avail of Section 156(3).’ (emphasis supplied) 7 This position of law was recently reiterated in Lavanya C v Vittal Gurudas Pai, 2025 SCC OnLine SC 499, where one of us (P. Mithal, J.) was part of the coram.

As far as the issue of the disobedience of the earlier passed injunction order is concerned, it is vehemently argued by the Ld. counsel for the appellant that the application u/o XXXIX rule 2 A CPC, 1908 was filed and it was necessary for the Ld.

Rakesh Kumar vs Kewal Krishan And Others on 12 May, 2026

14. Again, the Hon'ble Supreme Court in a recent judgment in Lavanya C. v. Vittal Gurudas Pai Since Deseased, (SC) : Law Finder Doc Id # 2701936 has held that "any undertaking given by counsel, once recorded or incorporated into a court order, remains operative unless promptly challenged or withdrawn. Crucially, the subsequent dismissal of the suit or alleged deficiencies in the property description do not absolve a party from liability if the undertaking is later violated."

Kiran P Jain (Advocate) vs Axis Finance Ltd. And Ors on 17 November, 2025

12. A statement of an advocate about purported policy decision has been denied before us by filing specific affidavit. It is not a statement about any singular act, but pertains to policy decision of the Government. Therefore the argument based on such statement need not detain us any further. For that reason, the judgment in the matter of Smt. Lavanya C. & Anr. (supra) will not help the Respondent.
