Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the validity of the High Court's order quashing charges against Dr. Anup Kumar Srivastava under Section 120-B IPC and Sections 7, 12, and 13(2) read with Section 13(1)(d) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. The Court held that the High Court erred in quashing the charges, emphasizing that the evidence presented was sufficient to frame charges against the respondent. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order and reinstated the charges against the respondent.
