Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court overturned the Allahabad High Court's decision that quashed criminal proceedings against the accused under various sections of the IPC and the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. The Court emphasized the importance of allowing the trial to proceed, stating that the High Court had erred in its application of Section 482 Cr.P.C. The judgment reinstates the original complaint and the summoning order, allowing the appellant to pursue justice.
