Homi Rajvansh vs State Of Maharashtra & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in quashing the criminal proceedings against Alok Ranjan under Section 120B read with Sections 409, 411, 420, 467, 468, and 471 IPC without hearing the appellant, who was a co-accused. The Court emphasized that the High Court overstepped its jurisdiction by conducting a summary trial on facts, which is contrary to established legal principles. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order and reinstated the criminal proceedings against Respondent No.3.
