State Of Rajasthan vs Rajkumar Agarwal & Anr

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's exercise of powers under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 to quash the complaint against Dr. Rajkumar Agarwal was unwarranted. The Court emphasized that the allegations of demanding a bribe under Sections 7 and 13(1)(d)(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act must be thoroughly investigated rather than dismissed at the preliminary stage. The Court overturned the High Court's decision, allowing the complaint to proceed, thereby reinforcing the need for accountability in public service.
