Senior Manager(P And D) Riico Ltd vs The State Of Rajasthan

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Revisional Court, which set aside the order of the subordinate court that had dismissed the appellant's complaint based on Section 195(1)(b)(ii) of the Cr.P.C. The Court clarified that the provisions of Section 195(1)(b)(ii) do not apply when the document in question is forged, referencing the precedent in Sachida Nand Singh & Anr. Vs. State of Bihar & Anr., (1998) 2 SCC 493. Consequently, the Court directed the lower court to proceed in accordance with law based on the available evidence.
