Ram Ekbak Missir vs Ramsriniwaiswhashanpdaenydey And Ors

The appellant challenged the delay in taking cognizance of an FIR filed under Section 302 IPC, noting that the case file had gone missing from the court records between 1990 and 2000. The ACJM eventually took cognizance of the offense on January 28, 2000, after the missing file was recovered. The legal issue pertains to the validity of proceedings and the impact of administrative lapses in the judicial process regarding the timing of cognizance.
