Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeals against the High Court's order quashing FIRs under Sections 468, 406 read with 120B IPC. The Court held that the allegations of misrepresentation and cheating by the partner of a registered partnership firm were sufficient to warrant the continuation of criminal proceedings. The Court emphasized that the partnership firm was never dissolved and the misappropriation of funds by the other partner constituted a clear case of cheating, thus allowing the appeals and reinstating the FIRs.
