Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal by Iridium India Telecom Ltd. against the Bombay High Court's order quashing their criminal complaint against Motorola Inc. under Section 420 and Section 120B of the Indian Penal Code. The Court held that the allegations of cheating were sufficiently substantiated, emphasizing that the corporate veil could be lifted to hold Motorola accountable for its actions as the dominant shareholder and operator of the Iridium project. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order and allowed the complaint to proceed, reinforcing the principle that corporate entities can be held liable for fraudulent conduct.
