1998 (1) TMI 533 - SC - Indian Laws

Summary

The Supreme Court allowed the appeal and set aside the impugned order of the High Court that quashed the FIR lodged against the respondents. The Court clarified that Section 195 Cr.P.C. does not restrict the police's statutory power to investigate cognizable offenses, even if they are related to court proceedings. The judgment of Gopal Krishna Menon and Anr. v. D. Raja Reddy was deemed inapplicable to the case.
