Vishnu Chandru Gaonkar vs N.M. Dessai

The Supreme Court analyzed the applicability of Section 195(1)(b)(ii) of the Cr.P.C. in the context of a complaint alleging forgery against a legal counsel. The Court held that the High Court erred in quashing the District & Sessions Judge's order for inquiry under Section 195(1)(b)(ii), as the allegations were more appropriately categorized under Section 195(1)(b)(i). The judgment emphasized the necessity of proper legal interpretation of statutory provisions in criminal proceedings, ultimately allowing the appeal and reinstating the inquiry order.
