Four accused persons (Abdul Sathar, Khalander Shafi, Mohammed Siraj Salam, and Mohammad Mustafa) filed criminal petitions before the Karnataka High Court under Section 528 of the BNSS seeking to quash proceedings in C.C. No. 67/2025 pending before the JMFC III Court, Mangaluru. The case arose from a complaint by one Hyder Ali alleging that the accused had blackmailed, extorted money from, and spread false rumours about his brother Mamtaz (a social activist and religious institution head), which allegedly drove Mamtaz to commit suicide by jumping from a bridge on 06-10-2024. The petitioners argued that the facts and charge sheets did not disclose the ingredients of abetment to suicide or any other alleged offence, while the Special Public Prosecutor contended that the matter involved seriously disputed questions of fact warranting a full trial. The judgment text as provided concludes with the court having heard arguments and reserved the matter, but the final operative order/outcome is not included in the text supplied.
