Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in quashing the complaint under Sections 420, 467, 471, 120B IPC and Section 3(1)(4) of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989, stating that the Sessions Court had correctly remanded the case for further inquiry. The Court emphasized that the Magistrate's cognizance was valid as the Sessions Court had already found sufficient grounds for proceeding with the case. The judgment of the High Court was set aside, allowing the complaint to proceed.
