Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal challenging the High Court's order that rejected the application to quash proceedings under Section 376 IPC. The court found that the allegations of rape were sufficiently serious to warrant continuation of the proceedings, despite the appellant's claims of extortion against the complainant. The judgment emphasizes the need for a thorough investigation into the facts before any quashing of FIRs in such serious allegations.
