Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the proceedings initiated against the appellant under Section 195 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971, and Section 21 of the Company Secretaries Act, 1980, should be dropped in light of the appellant's unconditional apology for filing a false affidavit. The Court emphasized that the apology was sincere and accepted it, thereby setting aside all proposed actions against the appellant. The Court cautioned the appellant against future misconduct, allowing the appeal with no costs awarded.
