Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to set aside the Special Court's dismissal of the discharge application for the accused under sections 120B, 420, 467, 468, 471 IPC, and section 13(2) read with section 13(1)(d) of The Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. The Court found that the allegations of a criminal conspiracy involving the submission of forged shipping bills to claim inflated duty drawbacks were substantiated, and the evidence presented warranted further proceedings. The Court emphasized the necessity of a thorough examination of the evidence before granting discharge.
