Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court allowed the appeal filed by Ram Kishan, a police constable, challenging the quashing of his FIR against Inspector Ratna Gupta and others for offenses under Sections 332 and 353 of the IPC. The court found that the High Court had erred in dismissing the FIR without considering the gravity of the allegations, which involved caste-based abuse and obstruction of duty. The judgment reinstates the FIR, emphasizing the need for a thorough investigation into the allegations made by the appellant.
