Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to reject the appellant's plea to quash the summoning order under Sections 406, 420, and 120B of the IPC, affirming that the complaint sufficiently established a prima facie case of cheating and criminal conspiracy. The Court emphasized that the summoning order is a procedural step and does not determine the guilt of the accused, thus allowing the case to proceed in the lower court. The appeal was dismissed, maintaining the status of the proceedings against the appellants.
