Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal filed by Govind Prasad Kejriwal challenging the High Court's decision to not quash the criminal proceedings against him for various offences under the IPC. The court found that the High Court had rightly refused to quash the complaint, as the allegations involved serious charges including conspiracy and theft. The judgment reinforces the principle that the merits of the case should be examined in a trial rather than at the quashing stage.
