CHILAKAMARTHI VENKATESWARLU & ANR. V. STATE OF ANDHRA PRADESH & ANR.

SC- Affirming the decision of the Hyderabad HC which had refused to quash the criminal complaint, the Hon’ble SC observed that the power to quash the proceedings under Sec.482 of the CrPC can be done only in rare cases and is to be generally exercised when there is no material to proceed against the Petitioners even if the allegations in the complaint are prima facie accepted as true. This power should not be exercised to stifle legitimate prosecution. -Hon'ble Justices Dr. Dhananjaya Y. Chandrachud and Indira Banerjee [31-07-2019]
