Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the legality of the Rajasthan High Court's order quashing FIR No.241 of 2005 under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The Court emphasized that the High Court's intervention was premature as the investigation was ongoing and the FIR was not manifestly false. The Court held that the High Court should not have quashed the FIR at this stage, thereby allowing the appeal and reinstating the FIR for further investigation.
