Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in quashing the FIR No.41/10 under Sections 468 and 471 IPC, stating that the allegations in the complaint, if taken at face value, could constitute an offence. The Court emphasized that the High Court should not interfere with an ongoing investigation unless compelling circumstances exist. It also clarified that Section 195 of the Cr.P.C. does not bar the initiation of proceedings based on the allegations made in the complaint, thus allowing the appeal and reinstating the FIR for further investigation.
