Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeals challenging the Bombay High Court's order under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, which rejected the appellants' petitions to quash an FIR for offences under Sections 409, 420, and 120B of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, and Section 13(2) r/w 13(1)(d) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. The Court held that the appellants had an adequate alternative remedy and that the High Court's decision was justified. The outcome affirmed the High Court's dismissal of the writ petitions, allowing the criminal proceedings to continue.
