Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order and dismissed the petitions filed under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. The Court emphasized that the police are to proceed with the investigation of the cases in accordance with the law, reaffirming the authority of law enforcement in criminal investigations. This ruling clarifies the scope of Section 482, which allows for quashing of proceedings in certain circumstances but does not impede lawful investigations.
