Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court's quashing of proceedings under Section 482 Cr.P.C. was improper as the allegations under Section 628 of the Companies Act and Sections 120B and 420 IPC warranted further investigation. The Court emphasized that the complainant's claims of conspiracy and misrepresentation by the accused, including false declarations to open a bank account, necessitated a trial to ascertain the truth. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order and reinstated the proceedings against the accused.
