Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court's order to remand the matter for further inquiry was justified, as the complainants alleged offences under Sections 420, 467, 468, 471 read with Sections 34 and 120B of the Indian Penal Code, 1860. The Court emphasized that the trial court's dismissal of the complaint as a civil matter was erroneous, and the High Court's intervention was necessary to ensure proper legal proceedings. The appeal was allowed, and the High Court's order was upheld, directing the trial court to conduct a thorough inquiry.
