#Question@CurrentLegalGK

Can police arrest after the court has taken cognizance of the case❓

Two accused individuals met at the scene of the incident and inflicted injuries on the victim. One, armed with a knife, caused more severe injuries than the other, who carried a chopper and inflicted less serious harm. The High Court reduced the conviction of the latter from Section 326 IPC to Section 324 IPC, citing no prior common intention. Determine the appropriateness of this decision.

a. The High Court erred in modifying the conviction because the degree of harm inflicted on the victim cannot be the basis for reducing the sentence when both accused acted with a common intention.
b. The degree of injury inflicted on the victim can serve as a basis for sentence reduction, irrespective of whether both accused acted with a common intention.
c. The High Court did not commit an error, as there was no prior meeting of minds to establish that both accused acted with a common intention.
d. Both (b) and (c)

Answer: Option (a)

In 1994, Mr. A was adopted by a widow, Ms. B, after the death of her husband, Mr. C. Prior to the adoption, Ms. B had acquired property through a sale deed in 1985, which was her absolute property. In 2007, Ms. B executed another sale deed for the same property in favor of two other parties, Mr. D and Mr. E, without consulting or obtaining consent from Mr. A, the adopted son. Mr. A claims that his right to the property should relate to the date of his adoptive father's (Mr. C) death in 1982, and therefore, the sale deed executed after his adoption should be invalid as it was done without his consent. In light of the facts mentioned and the applicable legal provisions, which of the following is the correct legal outcome?

Sale valid or invalid and why?

Case Title: Sri Mahesh Versus Sangram & Ors.
Explanation: According to the Supreme Court ruling, the property acquired by a female Hindu prior to the adoption remains her absolute property, and the adopted child's rights do not divest the adoptive mother of her rights over such property. The sale deed executed by Ms. B in 2007 is valid, as the rights she had acquired before the adoption remain intact.

A violent altercation resulted in a death. The police filed an FIR charging five individuals but dropped two with a closure report. During the trial, a witness implicated the dropped individuals, leading the court to summon them as additional accused under Section 319 CrPC. The individuals argued they couldn't be summoned due to the closure report.
Which of the following is the most accurate statement regarding the trial court's power to summon additional accused under Section 319 of the CrPC, based on the facts provided?

a. The trial court can summon any person as an additional accused only if they were initially named in the FIR and included in the chargesheet.
b. The trial court can summon an individual as an additional accused, even if they were exonerated by the police, provided that new evidence surfaced during the trial.
c. The trial court is bound to follow the police's closure report and cannot summon any additional accused after it has been filed.
d. The trial court can only summon an individual as an additional accused if the prosecution has submitted a protest petition requesting it

v.
STATE OF MADHYA PRADESH, 2025
Explanation: The Supreme Court observed that Section 319 of the CrPC gives the trial court the discretion to summon any person as an additional accused if, during the trial, evidence is adduced that implicates them, even if they were exonerated by the police or were not included in the charge sheet. The trial court is not bound by the police investigation or closure report and can exercise its discretion to summon additional accused based on trial evidence, the Court said.
