Tarina Sen vs Union Of India

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision allowing the appellants to present their pleas before the trial court, emphasizing the permissibility of such procedural avenues under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. The Court clarified that the quashing of criminal proceedings is not warranted at this stage, as the allegations under Sections 120-B, 420, 468, and 471 IPC and Section 13(2) read with 13(1)(d) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 require thorough examination during trial. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's order.
