Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court of Gujarat erred in staying the investigation of FIR No.119 of 2006, which involved offences under Section 498A, Section 323, Section 504, Section 506 IPC, and Section 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. The Court emphasized that such a stay on investigation is not warranted and remitted the case back to the High Court for a decision on merits. The appeal was allowed, setting aside the High Court's order.
