Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the criminal revision petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. and Article 227 of the Constitution, affirming the Additional Sessions Judge's decision that there was insufficient evidence to proceed against respondents 1-3. The Court noted that the complainant's statements did not substantiate claims against these respondents, as they were not named in the complaint and lacked corroborative evidence. The Court found no error in the High Court's confirmation of the Additional Sessions Judge's order, thereby dismissing the Special Leave Petition.
