Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the Calcutta High Court's order quashing the complaint under Section 420 and Section 120B IPC. The Court held that the High Court erred in quashing the FIR at a preliminary stage without proper inquiry, emphasizing that the complaint disclosed cognizable offences. The Court set aside the High Court's order, reinstating the complaint proceedings, thus affirming the necessity of a thorough investigation before dismissing such cases.
