Judgment text excerpt
The petitioners sought the quashing of an FIR registered under Section 406 of the IPC involving allegations of criminal breach of trust brought by a daughter-in-law against her husband's family. The High Court of Delhi had previously rejected the application for quashing. The Supreme Court examined whether the allegations constituted a prima facie case of criminal breach of trust necessitating a trial.
