Notes

  • The Karnataka High Court ruled that a special court erred by conducting a private inquiry under Section 223 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, instead of ordering a Lokayukta police investigation.
  • The special court had initially refused to order a police probe citing a 'defective affidavit' from the complainant.
  • The High Court clarified that procedural infirmities in a complainant's affidavit are 'curable defects'.
  • The judiciary is mandated to provide complainants an opportunity to rectify procedural defects before dismissing a petition on technical grounds.
  • The case involves allegations of irregularities regarding the allotment of a civic amenity site to a charitable trust.
