Filing common chargesheet in multiple crimes is impermissible: Karnataka High Court
Similar offences committed by the same accused within 12 months can be tried together by framing a common chargesheet, but the question of filing common chargesheet in multiple crimes is impermissible, the Court held.
A common chargesheet cannot be filed when there are multiple crimes and separate complaints, the Karnataka High Court held recently (State of Karnataka v. Greenbuds Agro Form Limited Company).
