What the Court ordered

We are of the opinion that no prima facie case has been made out against F the appellant in respect of offence under Section 409 read with Section 405, even with the aid of Section 34 of the IPC. Therefore, it was a fit case where the High Court should have exercised its powers under Section 482 of the Code by quashing the complaint against the appellant.
