Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Delhi High Court's refusal to quash charges against the accused-appellants under Section 120-B IPC and Section 12 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. The Court found that the allegations of conspiracy to discredit a Union Minister through a sting operation were substantiated by the chargesheet filed by the CBI. The Court emphasized the importance of allowing the trial to proceed in such serious allegations of corruption, thereby affirming the lower court's decision.
