These are a batch of criminal petitions filed under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (now Section 528 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita) along with a Writ Petition, seeking quashing of FIRs registered by the Sheshadripuram Police Station, Bengaluru (later transferred to CCB), for offences punishable under Sections 409, 420, 465, 468, 471, 472, and 120B read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code. The FIRs arose out of alleged criminal misconduct involving officials and others connected with the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA).
The petitioners, including Krishnoji Rao, M.K. Sanjay Kumar, and Anil Kumar R, challenged the registration and continuance of criminal proceedings pending before the IV Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Bengaluru, primarily on grounds including that the FIRs disclosed no cognizable offence or were otherwise liable to be quashed in exercise of the High Court's inherent powers.
The Karnataka High Court, before the Hon'ble Mr Justice Mohammad Nawaz, took up the connected matters together for hearing and adjudication, given the common questions of law and fact arising out of the same set of FIRs pertaining to alleged forgery, cheating, and criminal breach of trust in relation to BDA transactions.
