Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the transfer petition for Complaint Case No.1320 of 2015, seeking to move proceedings from Anantpur, Andhra Pradesh to Bangalore, Karnataka. The Court stayed the proceedings and entertained a quashing petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, referencing prior case law where similar complaints were quashed due to lack of sufficient allegations under Section 295A IPC. Ultimately, the Court quashed the complaint, holding that the allegations did not constitute an offence under Section 295A IPC, thereby allowing the petitioner relief.
