Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the charges against the appellant under Section 120-B IPC and Section 13(2) read with Section 13(1)(d) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, affirming the High Court's refusal to quash the criminal proceedings initiated by the CBI. The Court found sufficient evidence of a criminal conspiracy involving the appellant and others to obtain undue pecuniary advantage through fraudulent means, including forgery and unauthorized loan sanctions. The appeal was dismissed, allowing the prosecution to proceed.
