Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the quashing of criminal proceedings against respondents under Sections 420 and 120B IPC was improper as the appellant, the original complainant, was not given notice. The Court emphasized the necessity of hearing all parties involved before such a decision is made, thereby establishing the principle that due process must be followed in criminal proceedings. The Court set aside the High Court's order and remitted the case for a fresh decision, allowing the appeal.
