Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellants' plea regarding the limitation period for taking cognizance of offences under Sections 325, 342, 330, and 506(1) IPC, stating that the complaint was valid despite being filed after six months as per Section 64(3) of the Kerala Police Act. The Court clarified that the limitation period does not apply to serious offences involving police misconduct. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower courts' decisions to proceed with the trial.
