Lumbhardar Zutshi vs The King on 28 November, 1949
“21. …….The Court after referring to Prabhu v.
Emperor AIR 1944 SC 73 and Lumbhardar Zutshi v. The
King AIR 1950 PC 26 held that if cognizance is in fact
taken on a police report initiated by the breach of a
mandatory provision relating to investigation, there can be
no doubt that the result of the trial, which follows it cannot
be set aside unless the illegality in the investigation can
be shown to have brought about a miscarriage of justice
and that an illegality committed in the course of
investigation does not affect the competence and the
jurisdiction of the Court for trial. This being the legal
position, even assuming for the sake of argument that the
CBI committed an error or irregularity in submitting the
charge sheet without the approval of CVC, the
cognizance taken by the learned Special Judge on the
basis of such a charge sheet could not be set aside nor
could further proceedings in pursuance thereof be
quashed. The High Court has clearly erred in setting
aside the order of the learned Special Judge taking
cognizance of the offence and in quashing further
proceedings of the case.”
It could thus be seen, that this Court held that even for the
sake of argument that CBI had committed an error or irregularity in
submitting the charge-sheet without the approval of CVC, the
cognizance taken by the learned Special Judge on the basis of such
a charge-sheet, would not be set aside nor could further
proceedings in pursuance thereof be quashed.
