Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the validity of the High Court's order quashing criminal proceedings against the accused under Sections 120-B, 147, 148, 427, 307, 201 read with Section 149 IPC. The Court held that the High Court erred in quashing the proceedings as the allegations of conspiracy and attempted murder were substantiated by sufficient evidence. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order and reinstated the criminal proceedings against the accused.
