Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the legality of the High Court's order which refused to quash an FIR and directed that the petitioner not be arrested until credible evidence was available. The Court considered whether such a direction infringes upon the rights of the accused under criminal procedure. The Court upheld the order, emphasizing the importance of fair investigation procedures while balancing individual rights. The judgment underscores the Court's approach towards pre-trial restrictions and the scope of judicial interference in FIR proceedings.
