Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the allegations against the appellant under Sections 409, 468, and 471 IPC, along with Sections 65 and 66 of the Information Technology Act, 2000, do not constitute a prima facie case for criminal proceedings. The Court found that the mention of 'Devi Consultancy Services' on the website did not imply forgery, as it was clarified that it is part of Devi Polymers Private Limited. The Court quashed the criminal proceedings initiated against the appellant, emphasizing that the circumstances presented do not support the charges of misappropriation or breach of trust.
