Karnataka HC restrains chargesheet against RCB, others

Bengaluru, July 8 (UNI) In a significant development, the Karnataka High Court today directed the state police not to file a final report or chargesheet against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), event manager DNA Entertainment Networks, and others without the court’s permission in connection with the tragic stampede outside Bengaluru’s Chinnaswamy Stadium.
Justice SR Krishna Kumar passed the interim order while hearing petitions filed by RCB, DNA, the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA), and individuals including RCB’s marketing head Nikhil Sosale. The petitioners sought to quash FIRs filed against them following the June 4 stampede, which claimed 11 lives and injured 56 people.
Senior Advocates Sandesh J Chouta, CV Nagesh, and Kiran S Javalli argued that any chargesheet would prejudice their clients' cases if filed before the court rules on the FIRs’ validity. Justice Kumar concurred, stating the petitions would become infructuous if chargesheets were submitted prematurely.
