Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of police involvement in private disputes, emphasizing that law enforcement should prioritize public interest over trivial private grievances. The Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's writ petition challenging the criminal proceedings arising from FIR No.248 of 2022, which involved allegations of financial impropriety related to job promises. The judgment highlights the need for judicious allocation of police resources, reinforcing that not all disputes warrant criminal investigation under the law.
