Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the complaint under Sections 379, 406, 420, 467 r/w 120-B IPC was not maintainable as it failed to name any individuals and did not establish a prima facie case for conspiracy. The Court found that the High Court erred in dismissing the quashing application, as the continuation of proceedings against the appellant constituted an abuse of process. Consequently, the Court set aside the High Court's judgment and allowed the appeal.
