Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that for a complaint under Sections 138 and 141 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, specific allegations must be made against the accused. The Court found that the appellants were not named in the original complaint and that the amended complaint did not contain sufficient allegations against them. Consequently, the Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the appellants' revision petitions, affirming that the absence of specific allegations warranted their exclusion from the proceedings.
