Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the issuance of summons under Sections 406 and 409 IPC was justified, as the complainant had alleged deception regarding his appointment as Field Officer instead of Area Manager. The Court found that the complaint was not barred by limitation under Section 468 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, as the cause of action arose after the termination of the complainant's services. The Court upheld the High Court's decision, affirming that sufficient material existed to proceed with the trial against the appellants.
