Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellant's revision petitions by the Madras High Court, affirming that the charges against the appellant under Sections 120B, 420, 468, 471 IPC and Section 13(2) read with Section 13(1)(d) of the Prevention of Corruption Act were valid. The Court established that the issuance of a Foreign Inward Certificate based on false representations constituted a criminal conspiracy and cheating. Consequently, the appeals were dismissed, maintaining the High Court's ruling.
