Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's application under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, to quash FIR No. 45 of 2011, which charged him with offences under Sections 467, 468, 471, 420, and 120-B of the Indian Penal Code, 1860. The Court noted that the appellant admitted to being a victim of fraud himself and expressed no intention to claim rights over the disputed plots, thus indicating a lack of merit in his appeal. The Court emphasized that the FIR's allegations warranted further investigation and did not find grounds to interfere with the High Court's order.
