MR. ROBERT JOHN D'SOUZA vs MR. STEPHEN V. GOMES

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellants' petition to quash a criminal complaint under Sections 406, 409, and 420 IPC, stating that the complainant had locus standi despite not being a member of the Mukka Welfare Society. The Court emphasized that the delay in filing the complaint did not invalidate the allegations of fraud and cheating against the appellants, who were accused of misusing their positions to facilitate the sale of society property to relatives. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower courts' decisions.
