Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the High Court's order quashing FIR No.87 of 2011 under Sections 467, 468, 469, and 471 IPC, finding sufficient grounds for the continuation of the criminal proceedings against the appellant. The Court emphasized that the misuse of Power of Attorney (PoA) for fraudulent property transactions constitutes a serious offense under the IPC. The ruling clarified that the appellant's claim of being a mere vendee does not absolve him from liability if the PoA was misused to facilitate the sale without proper authorization from the actual owners.
