    Summary The Chhattisgarh High Court quashed FIR No. 388/2019 and all related criminal proceedings against two petitioners accused of forging MNREGA muster rolls. The court found that even accepting the prosecution's allegations as true, the essential ingredients of forgery and criminal conspiracy were absent—the petitioners' role was limited to marking attendance as "mates" with no involvement in fund disbursement, wrongful gain, or mens rea, rendering the proceedings an abuse of process.
