Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the Gujarat High Court exceeded its jurisdiction by quashing the FIRs and the pending public interest petition related to false criminal complaints against the complainant and his family. The Court emphasized that Section 195 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, which restricts the cognizance of certain offenses, was not applicable in this case. The Court reinstated the complaints and directed further investigation, thereby upholding the rights of the complainant against misuse of judicial processes.
