Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the High Court's order quashing FIR No. CR-I-60-2017, which involved allegations under Sections 376, 499, and 506(2) IPC. The Court emphasized that the allegations of rape and blackmail must be thoroughly investigated, and the High Court's decision to quash the FIR was found to be premature. The Court held that the FIR should not have been quashed at the initial stage, thereby allowing the appeal and reinstating the FIR for further investigation.
