Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in quashing the charge sheet under Sections 406 and 494 IPC, as the allegations in the First Information Report indicated the possibility of a second marriage and the requisite ingredients for these offences were present. The Court emphasized that the High Court's conclusion lacked sufficient basis, particularly regarding the second marriage and its ceremonial validity. The appeal was allowed, and the High Court's order was set aside, reinstating the charges under Sections 406 and 494 IPC while maintaining the charge under Section 498A IPC.
