Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of a petition for quashing a complaint against Accused Nos. 1 to 9 under Sections 406, 420, and 424 read with Section 34 IPC, affirming that the allegations of cheating and criminal breach of trust were sufficient to proceed with the charges. The Court noted that the insolvency petition filed by Accused No. 1 did not negate the possibility of criminal liability for the alleged fraudulent activities. The judgment reinforces the principle that insolvency proceedings do not preclude criminal prosecution for fraud.
