Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to dismiss a petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. challenging proceedings under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881. The Court emphasized that the question of whether the appellants were partners of the accused firm was a disputed question of fact that could not be resolved at this stage. The Court affirmed that such matters should be addressed during the trial, thus dismissing the appeal as lacking merit.
