Judgment text excerpt
The appellant challenged the delay in taking cognizance of an FIR filed under Section 302 IPC, where the case file went missing between 1990 and 2000. The ACJM eventually took cognizance on January 28, 2000, after the file was recovered from the court office. The primary issue concerns the procedural delay and the subsequent initiation of criminal proceedings against the respondents.
