RAJIB RANJAN vs R.VIJAYKUMAR

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellants' petitions challenging the summoning orders in a complaint filed under Sections 120-B, 468, 420, and 500 IPC. The Court ruled that the allegations in the complaint were sufficient to constitute an offence and that the appellants, being public servants, could not claim immunity under Section 197 Cr.P.C. without prior sanction. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision, emphasizing that the complaint was not an abuse of process and that the appellants had failed to demonstrate any merit in their arguments.
