ASHOK KUMAR AGGARWAL vs UNION OF INDIA .

The Supreme Court addressed the dismissal of an application under Section 340 read with Section 195(1)(b) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, by the Delhi High Court. The Court held that the High Court erred in not allowing the application, as the affidavit submitted by the investigating officer claiming the investigation was complete was misleading due to subsequent witness examinations. The Court emphasized the need for accountability in the investigative process and allowed the appeal, setting aside the High Court's order.
