Xyz vs The State Of Gujarat

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in quashing the charge sheet under Sections 376(2)(N) and 506 IPC and the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 without verifying the authenticity of the settlement between the parties or securing the personal presence of the appellant. The Court emphasized that the affidavits presented lacked proper endorsement and raised suspicion regarding their validity. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order, reinstating the charge sheet and emphasizing the need for a thorough inquiry into the matter.
