Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined whether the charges under Sections 468, 471, 406, and 120-B of the Indian Penal Code against the appellants, who are leaders of ISKCON, were justified. The High Court had dismissed their revision petitions seeking to quash the charge-sheet. The Court analyzed the validity of the allegations and the procedural aspects, ultimately upholding the High Court's decision and affirming the continuation of the criminal proceedings.
