In Brief
The appellants sought quashing of a 2013 criminal complaint under Section 482 Cr.P.C. before the High Court, citing multiple family litigations. The Supreme Court disposed of the appeal, holding that since the Magistrate Court was already seized of the matter, quashing was inappropriate. Instead, the Court directed the appellants to surrender before the Magistrate Court and stand trial, with release on bail upon furnishing bonds of Rs. 25,000 each with two sureties of equivalent amount, to be approved by the Magistrate.
