Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the challenge to the High Court's order which upheld the Sessions Court's decision to quash the summoning order for offences under Sections 420 and 120-B IPC against the respondents. The Court emphasized that the essence of the complaint involved misrepresentation regarding the marital status of the respondent no.1, which constituted an offence under Section 420 IPC. The Court held that the Sessions Court's order was erroneous and reinstated the charges against the respondents, thereby allowing the appeal.
