    Summary: The Chhattisgarh High Court dismissed a petition seeking to quash an FIR and charge-sheet against a university professor for his alleged role in compelling Muslim students to participate in religious activities during an NSS camp. The court held that while the petitioner's claims of absence and lack of operational involvement are notable, such factual disputes cannot be resolved at the pre-trial stage, and sufficient prima facie evidence exists to proceed with trial. The court exercised judicial restraint, applying the *Bhajan Lal* principle that extraordinary powers to quash proceedings are used sparingly and only in exceptional cases of manifest mala fide, and allowed the trial process to proceed. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
