Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal against the High Court's order under Article 227 and Section 482 CrPC, which had refused to quash the chargesheet in Special Case No.3 of 1991. The Court held that the charges under Sections 120B, 409, 420, 465, 468, 471, 477(A) IPC and Sections 5(1)(c)(d) and 13(1)(c)(d) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1947 were validly framed against the appellant and his father for conspiracy and misappropriation. The Court emphasized that the High Court's dismissal was justified given the serious nature of the allegations and the evidence presented.
