Appeal against Single Judge order for further criminal investigation not maintainable

Criminal

The Orissa High Court held that an appeal against a Single Judge judgment directing further investigation in a criminal investigation was not maintainable.

It opined, the matter stemmed from dowry law and the previous judgment was rendered “in exercise of criminal jurisdiction” and was excluded under Clause 10 of Letters Patent.
