Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to set aside the Special Court's order dismissing the discharge application of the respondents. The Court found that the allegations 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, did not establish a prima facie case against the respondents. The Court emphasized that mere involvement in the process does not equate to criminal conspiracy or corruption without substantial evidence of wrongdoing.
