Ram Dhan vs State Of U.P.& Anr

The Supreme Court upheld the rejection of the petitioner's application under Section 239 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, stating that the prosecution against the petitioner was valid despite claims of illegality based on Sections 195 and 340 Cr.P.C. The Court emphasized that the petitioner had suppressed material facts, including a prior rejection of a quashing petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C., which rendered the current petition liable for dismissal. The Court affirmed the lower court's decision, maintaining the charges against the petitioner under Sections 177, 181, 182, and 195 IPC.
