Prof. R.K. Vijayasarathy vs Sudha Seetharam

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to reject the appellants' plea to quash the FIR filed under Sections 405, 406, 415, and 420 read with Section 34 IPC, affirming that the allegations in the complaint disclosed sufficient ingredients to constitute an offence. The Court noted that the criminal proceedings were not an abuse of process, as the matter involved serious allegations of collusion and misappropriation of funds. The appeal was dismissed, allowing the criminal proceedings to continue.
