In Brief
This appeal challenges a High Court's dismissal of a criminal writ petition seeking to quash an FIR for cheating (Section 420 IPC). The Supreme Court found the High Court had passed cyclostyled, mechanical orders without examining the petition's merits or the underlying facts. Holding that such orders cannot be appreciated, the Court set aside the High Court's order, restored the petition for fresh hearing by another Judge, restrained coercive action for eight weeks, and allowed the appellants liberty to seek interim protection before the High Court.", <parameter name="cited_cases">[]
