Maneesha Yadav vs The State Of Uttar Pradesh

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to reject the petition for quashing the FIR under Sections 419, 420, 467, 468, 471, 406, 504, and 506 IPC, stating that the defence of the accused cannot be considered at the stage of quashing. The Court emphasized that the appellants had alternative remedies available under Sections 239, 227, or 245 of the Cr.P.C. The Court held that the appellants' claims of non-involvement in the management of the institute do not warrant quashing the FIR at this stage.
