Shri Pareshbhai Amrutlal Patel vs The State Of Gujarat

The Supreme Court held that the proceedings arising from FIR No. 3 of 2007, which involved allegations under Sections 420, 406, 419, 467, 468, 379, 465, 475, 120-B, and 114 of the IPC, should not be quashed but rather transferred to the Court of Judicial Magistrate, Surat, where a related complaint under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instrument Act, 1881 is pending. The Court emphasized the importance of resolving both cases together to avoid contradictory judgments, given that they revolve around the same cheque. The appeal was disposed of with this direction, ensuring both matters are heard concurrently.
