Criminal Law : Criminal Proceedings under S.420 Against Sportsperson Quashed
In the recent case of Chirag Sen v. State of Karnataka [2025] GCtR 1373 (SC), it was held that where allegations are inherently improbable and no case is made out, continuation of proceedings amounts to abuse of process. The allegations against the accused, it was held, do not fulfil the essential ingredients of Sections 420, 468 or 471 IPC.
While jurisdiction to quash must be exercised with caution, the law equally mandates that courts must not remain passive in the face of manifest injustice.
