Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in quashing the prosecution of Emilda Richards and Richards Arokyaraj under Sections 409 and 420 IPC, as it relied solely on a prior quashing order concerning a co-accused without sufficient justification. The Court emphasized that each case must be evaluated on its own merits and reinstated the prosecution, directing the Trial Court to proceed with the case in accordance with law. The appeal was allowed, and the impugned order was set aside.
