Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court allowed the appeal filed by Smt. Rekha Jain and Smt. Minakshi Jain against the dismissal of their application to quash criminal proceedings by the High Court. The court found that the allegations in the FIR did not establish a prima facie case against the appellants under the sections invoked. Consequently, the court quashed the FIR and the proceedings against the appellants, emphasizing the need for sufficient evidence to sustain criminal charges.
