Fakhruddin Ahmad vs State Of Uttaranchal & Anr

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, seeking to quash the chargesheet for offences under Sections 420, 467, 468, and 471 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, was justified. The Court emphasized that the High Court correctly noted that the prosecution had collected evidence supporting the complainant's claims, and that the evaluation of evidence should occur during the trial rather than at the quashing stage. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision.
