Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal challenging the High Court's order that refused to quash an FIR under Sections 420 and 406 IPC. The court held that the allegations made in the FIR were sufficient to warrant investigation and that the High Court had rightly dismissed the writ petition. The decision reinforces the principle that the quashing of FIRs should be done sparingly and only in cases where no cognizable offense is made out.
