Shrikant Ojha vs State Of Up

The Supreme Court granted leave to appeal against an interim High Court order which permitted investigation to continue but restrained submission of the police report under Section 193(3) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. The case involved a dispute arising from a criminal writ petition related to the investigation process. The Court examined the applicability of the High Court's interim directions in light of the precedent set in Pradnya Pranjal Kulkarni v. State of Maharashtra. The appeal challenges the restriction on the Investigating Officer's ability to submit the police report during the pendency of the writ petition.
