Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the dismissal of a writ petition challenging the refusal to discharge the accused-appellant, Ajoy Kumar Ghosh, from prosecution under various sections of the IPC including Sections 177, 181, 182, 192, 196, 199, 209, 466, 468, 471, and 474. The Court held that the allegations against the appellant, related to misconduct proceedings and subsequent actions taken against an Assistant Professor, warranted further examination and did not merit discharge at this stage. The appeal was allowed, setting aside the High Court's order and directing the trial to proceed.
