Sirajul & Ors vs The State Of U.P. & Anr

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to dismiss the appellants' petition for quashing the complaint under Section 307 IPC, emphasizing that the delay of 16 years in filing the complaint did not negate the merits of the case. The Court noted that the allegations in the complaint and the preliminary evidence were sufficient to warrant summoning the appellants. The Court held that the High Court's refusal to interfere with the summoning order was justified, and the proceedings could continue in the lower court.
