Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed a transfer petition seeking to move Complaint Case No.1320 of 2015 from Anantpur, Andhra Pradesh to Bangalore, Karnataka. The Court stayed the proceedings and entertained a quashing petition based on similar prior case law, specifically referencing Section 295A IPC. The Court found that the allegations in the current complaint did not constitute an offence under Section 295A IPC, leading to the quashing of the complaint. The Court's holding emphasized the need for clear evidence of malicious intent to outrage religious feelings under the statute.
