Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's decision that had set aside the cognizance taken by the Judicial Magistrate against the respondent in a criminal complaint. The Court emphasized the importance of allowing the trial to proceed unless there is a clear case for discharge. The judgment reinstates the earlier orders of the Judicial Magistrate, thereby allowing the criminal proceedings to continue against the respondent.
