Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the special leave petition challenging the High Court's order that upheld the cognizance taken by the Sessions Judge under the Atrocities Act. The petitioners argued that the case was a result of malicious prosecution due to political rivalry. The court found no merit in the claims of malicious intent and upheld the lower court's decision, emphasizing the importance of allowing the judicial process to take its course in such matters.
