The Chhattisgarh High Court has declined to quash the First Information Report filed against a self‑styled godman who is alleged to have induced a doctor to make a payment.
The Chhattisgarh High Court on Tuesday refused to quash the FIR lodged against a self‑styled godman. The complainant alleges that the godman persuaded a medical practitioner to make a payment, a claim that the court has found sufficient to keep the case active. The court’s order means the investigation will continue and the accused may be summoned for questioning. No further details about the amount or the identity of the doctor were disclosed in the court’s ruling. The case is now set to proceed to the next stage of the criminal procedure.
