M/S B.Fine Art Auctioneers P.Ltd. & Ors vs C.B.I. & Anr

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the Writ Petition by the Delhi High Court, which sought to quash the FIR registered by the CBI under Section 120B IPC and Section 25(1) read with Section 3 of the Antiquities and Art Treasures Act, 1972. The Court found that the appellants had not adequately challenged the FIR or the charge sheet filed by the CBI, and the procedural compliance by the Archaeological Survey of India was sufficient. The Court emphasized that the FIR was based on a prima facie finding of an offence under the Act, thus affirming the High Court's decision.
