J.L.Soman vs State Of Bihar & Anr

The Supreme Court addressed the dismissal of criminal misc. petitions by the High Court under Section 482 Cr.P.C., which sought to quash proceedings initiated against the appellants under Sections 418, 504, and 120B IPC. The Court held that the High Court's refusal to entertain the second petition for similar relief was justified, as the appellants had previously approached the court for the same issue without new grounds. Consequently, the appeals were dismissed, affirming the High Court's order and the cognizance taken by the Judicial Magistrate.
