Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the Calcutta High Court's decision to quash charges against Raj Kumar Agarwalla under Sections 420, 468, and 471 IPC, along with Section 120B IPC, stating that no case was made out against him as he was not named in the initial police report. The Court emphasized that the prosecution failed to establish a direct link between Agarwalla and the alleged crime, as he appeared only after the report was lodged. Consequently, the appeal by the State of West Bengal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling.
