Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of petitions under Section 482 of the CrPC, which sought to quash a criminal complaint for dishonour of a cheque under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. The court affirmed that the High Court's decision was justified as the complaint involved significant financial implications and the appellants, being directors of the company, were liable under the provisions of the Act. The appeals were dismissed, reinforcing the accountability of company directors in financial transactions.
