Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal challenging the Chhattisgarh High Court's order rejecting the quashing of FIR No. 590 of 2019 under Sections 447, 427, 294, 506 read with Section 34 IPC. The Court held that the allegations of trespass and demolition of property, along with threats made to the complainant, constituted sufficient grounds for the FIR to stand. The Court emphasized that the merits of the case should be examined during trial rather than at the quashing stage under Section 482 CrPC.
