Bangalore, Sep 22: A day after the chargesheet was filed in connection with the July 28 home stay attack in Mangalore, the high court on Friday September 21 dismissed the PIL filed by senior advocate Vasudeva seeking action against the perpetrators.
ACP T R Jaganath who is in charge of the investigations submitted the chargesheet and documents with regard to the case in the high court.
As many as 44 persons including the 24 who were arrested have been named in the chargesheet. The arrested are currently in judicial custody.
Home minister R Ashok had earlier stated that the main accused in the home stay attack will be booked under the Goonda Act but it has not been done so far.
"Paper work with regard to Goonda Act is still on. Filing of chargesheet does not mean Goonda Act will not be invoked, but it will not speed up the process either," said a police source.
