Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed six Special Leave Petitions against a Bombay High Court order directing a complaint under Section 192 IPC for fabricating false evidence and Section 340 CrPC for initiating proceedings in the interests of justice. The Court upheld the High Court's decision, affirming that the prima facie evidence warranted a trial for the alleged offenses under Sections 192 and 193 IPC. The petitions were dismissed, with two becoming infructuous due to the death of petitioners.
