C.B.I vs JAGJIT SINGH

The Supreme Court overturned the Calcutta High Court's order quashing proceedings against Jagjit Singh under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code, 1973. The Court held that the allegations of criminal conspiracy and fraud under Sections 420 and 471 of the Indian Penal Code were substantial enough to warrant continuation of the proceedings. The Court emphasized that the High Court erred in its assessment of the evidence and the nature of the allegations, thereby reinstating the case against the respondent.
