Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the jurisdiction of the High Court under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, does not extend to quashing a complaint based on facts that may later prove the truth or falsity of the allegations. The Court emphasized that the High Court should not interfere in the investigation process unless there is a clear abuse of power or a lack of jurisdiction. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision to not quash the complaint against the accused for alleged conspiracy to contravene the Imports and Exports (Control) Act, 1947.
