Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the discharge order under Section 239 Cr.P.C. concerning charges of cheating under Section 420 IPC and criminal conspiracy under Section 120B IPC against the appellants, who were involved in establishing educational institutions. The Court held that the High Court's order setting aside the discharge was justified due to discrepancies in the loan application submitted to the AICTE, where the Society falsely stated that the land was not mortgaged despite having raised a loan against it. Consequently, the Court upheld the High Court's directive for the Magistrate to proceed with the case against the appellants.
