Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Bombay High Court's judgment quashing the complaint against Ranjit Satardekar was unsustainable, as the allegations under Sections 409, 420, and other provisions of the IPC indicated sufficient grounds for prosecution. The Court emphasized that misrepresentation and deceit in executing a Power of Attorney, which led to the unauthorized sale of property, warranted legal action. Consequently, the appeal was allowed in part, reinstating the proceedings against Ranjit Satardekar while upholding the quashing of proceedings against Vijaya Satardekar.
