HEMANT DHASMANA vs CENTRAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of a complainant being transposed as an accused under Sections 182 and 211 IPC, which pertain to false information and false charge of an offence, respectively. The Court held that the CBI's decision to prosecute the appellant for making a false complaint was unjustified, as the initial investigation had indicated potential wrongdoing by the Chief Commissioner of Income Tax. The Court overturned the High Court's order that had reversed the Special Judge's directive for further investigation, thereby allowing the appellant's plea for justice to be heard.
