2000 (12) TMI 930 - SC - Indian Laws

Summary

The Supreme Court allowed the appeal against the quashing of a criminal complaint, stating that the complaint alleged both civil wrong and criminal liability. The court held that just because a civil action can be taken does not mean a criminal complaint is not maintainable. The High Court's order to quash the complaint was set aside, and the trial court was directed to proceed with the complaint in accordance with the law.
