Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the validity of the High Court's decision to quash a complaint under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, regarding allegations of bribery against Dr. Rajkumar Agarwal. The Court held that the High Court erred in quashing the complaint as the allegations of demanding illegal gratification were substantiated by evidence, including a recorded conversation. The Supreme Court reinstated the complaint, emphasizing the need for a thorough investigation into the allegations under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988.
