Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court allowed the appeal filed by Kanchan Sharma challenging the Allahabad High Court's dismissal of her application under Section 482 of the Cr.PC. The court examined the allegations against her, which included serious charges under the IPC and the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. The court found that the High Court had erred in dismissing her plea, leading to the quashing of the proceedings against her under Section 306 IPC and Section 3(2)(v) of the Act.
