Quash Petition filed at High Court -Notice to Resp
X has filed a quash Petition in High Court making Police Authorities and the Complainant as Respondents. H.C has not served any notice to Complainant (individual). The Quash Petition has been disposed by HC ex-parte with remarks as the Complainant as 'absent'.
There is, of course, some manipulation done by the Quash Petitioner with Police and H.C staff. Please clarify the following:
1. Is H.C. in order in passing the order without presence of Complainant?
2. Is H.C. responsible in serving notice to Respondents (Police and Individual complainant)?
3. Can the order passed under the above situation be challenged as invalid / void ab initio.
Any legal decisions / case laws. more
