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 under Section 420 and Section 120B of the Indian Penal Code. The Court held that the allegations of cheating were sufficiently substantiated, emphasizing the intertwined corporate structure of Motorola Inc. and its subsidiaries, which indicated potential liability. The Court reversed the High Court's decision, allowing the complaint to proceed, thereby reinforcing the principle that corporate entities can be held accountable for fraudulent activities.
