Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the High Court's order under Section 482 Cr.P.C. concerning a non-bailable warrant issued against the appellants based on an FIR under Sections 420 and 467 IPC. The Court held that the issuance of the warrant was improper as the appellants had a valid defense regarding the contractual obligations and the alleged defaults. The Court emphasized the importance of evaluating the merits of the case before issuing such warrants, thereby quashing the warrant and allowing the appeal.
