Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the Allahabad High Court's decision to quash the FIR registered under Section 366 IPC, ruling that the FIR was filed with oblique motives. The Court emphasized the need for protecting individual freedoms and noted that the High Court's order to impose costs on the complainant and the State was justified to prevent harassment. The Court affirmed the High Court's directive for police protection to the accused and their family, ensuring their peaceful living.
