Aaditya Khaitan@Aditya Khaitan vs The State Of Jharkhand

The Supreme Court examined whether the High Court erred in refusing to quash an FIR against corporate officers under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code. The appellants argued that the FIR was a tactic to recover money related to a contract, which was already subject to arbitration and insolvency proceedings. The Court emphasized the importance of avoiding abuse of criminal process and the need to consider the context of civil and insolvency proceedings before quashing FIRs. The Court ultimately allowed the appeal, quashing the FIR to prevent misuse of criminal law in civil disputes.
