Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the High Court's orders directing the arrest of Directors of Maharashtra Antibiotics & Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (MAPL) for alleged offences under Sections 406 and 409/34 IPC, following a complaint by the Provident Fund Commissioner. The Court held that the High Court's intervention was justified due to the lack of progress in the investigation, emphasizing the need for accountability in cases involving government officials. The appeals were dismissed, affirming the High Court's directive for the State to act on the complaint and ensure the arrest of the accused.
