PETITIONERS (BY SRI: NISHIT KUMAR SHETTY, ADV.,) AND:- STATE OF KARNATAKA BY MANGALORE SOUTH POLICE STATION REPRESENTED BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR HIGH COURT BUILDING BANGALORE-560 001. ... RESPONDENT (BY SRI: CHETAN DESAI, HCGP) 8 THIS CRL.P IS FILED U/S.482 CR.P.C PRAYING TO QUASH THE ENTIRE PROCEEDINGS IN C.C.NO.3665/2014 (CR.NO. 159/2014) OF MANGALORE SOUTH POLICE STATION REGISTERED FOR THE OFFENCE P/U/S 80 OF KARNATAKA POLICE ACT, PENDING ON THE FILE OF JMFC (II COURT), MANGALORE. THIS CRL.P COMING ON FOR ADMISSION, THIS DAY, THE COURT MADE THE FOLLOWING: O R D E R The petitioners are the accused in C.C.No.3665/2014 on the file of JMFC-II Court, Mangalore. They have filed this petition to quash the proceedings initiated against them for the offences punishable under Sections 79 and 80 of Karnataka Police Act, 1963, as both the offences are non- cognisable and the police have no authority to investigate without prior permission of the Magistrate under Section 155(2) of Cr.P.C. 2. The records disclose that no such permission has been obtained from the jurisdictional Magistrate as required under Section 155(2) Cr.P.C.. In that case, the Investigating Officer gets no jurisdiction to investigate into the crime and to file charge-sheet. As such, the charge-sheet filed against the 9 petitioners for the offences punishable under Sections 79 and 80 of Karnataka Police Act is bad in law for want of prior permission under Section 155(2) Cr.P.C. 3. Hence, petition is allowed. The proceedings initiated against the petitioners in C.C.No.3665/2014 on the file of JMFC-II Court, Mangalore are hereby quashed. Sd/- JUDGE *mn/- .
