M/S. PUNJAB STATE CIVIL S. CORP.LTD. vs SATISH THAPAR . — Crl.A. No. 725/2014

Case Summary: Punjab State Civil Supplies Corporation Ltd. v. Satish Thapar Outcome: The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order and remitted Criminal Miscellaneous No. 12230-M of 2003 back to the High Court of Punjab and Haryana for reconsideration. The Court found the High Court was unduly influenced by an earlier quashed FIR (FIR No. 86 of 1995) when evaluating a subsequent FIR (FIR No. 132 of 1996), which arose from a different transaction. The Court noted a crucial document (Form under Companies Act Section 303(2) regarding respondents' resignation from directorship on 03.04.1996) was not before the High Court, making proper examination difficult. Next Steps: The High Court was requested to hear and decide the Criminal Miscellaneous Petition expeditiously.
