Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed whether the complaint against the appellants for offences under Sections 211, 500, 109, and 114 read with Section 34 IPC was barred by Section 195 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. The Court held that the complaint was not barred, affirming the High Court's decision that the Metropolitan Magistrate had jurisdiction to take cognizance of the offences. The Court clarified that the expression 'in relation to any proceedings in any Court' in Section 195(1)(b)(i) does not preclude the filing of such a complaint when the allegations are of false charges made without lawful grounds.
