Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellants' application under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing the summoning order under Sections 452, 376(d), and 323 IPC. The Court emphasized that the High Court correctly found that the allegations in the complaint were sufficient to proceed with the trial, as they involved serious charges of criminal offenses. The Court affirmed that the principles governing the exercise of powers under Section 482 Cr.P.C. do not permit quashing of proceedings when the allegations disclose a prima facie case against the accused.
