HARDEO SINGH vs STATE OF BIHAR

The Supreme Court addressed the refusal of the Patna High Court to exercise jurisdiction under Section 482 Cr.P.C. regarding the discharge of a complaint against the petitioner under Sections 120B, 409, 420, 468, 471, and 477A IPC, along with provisions of the Prevention of Corruption Act. The Court emphasized that the Branch Manager of the Central Bank of India exceeded his authority by granting an overdraft facility beyond Rs. 10,000, which constituted a misuse of official position leading to wrongful loss to the bank. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision to not discharge the complaint against the petitioner.
