Somveer Lamba vs Haryana Public Service Commission & Anr

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to dismiss the appellants' petition for quashing a complaint under Section 307 IPC, stating that the delay of 16 years in filing the complaint did not constitute an abuse of process given the circumstances of the case. The Court emphasized that the preliminary evidence presented in support of the complaint was sufficient to warrant summoning the appellants. The Court also noted that the appellants were previously exonerated during investigation, but this did not preclude the filing of the complaint based on new evidence.
