Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order quashing criminal proceedings under Sections 379, 406, 411, 504, and 506 IPC, finding that the High Court had erroneously concluded that the dispute was of a civil nature and that the complaint was motivated by mala fides. The Court emphasized that the police had found sufficient evidence to file a charge-sheet against the accused. The matter was remanded to the High Court for reconsideration in accordance with law.
