Orders
The Supreme Court dismissed Manohar Galani's appeal but granted him liberty to file proceedings for quashing five criminal cases filed against him. The Court recognized Galani as a whistle-blower who had exposed an illegal racket involving unscrupulous lawyers obtaining fraudulent arrest warrants, and stayed proceedings for six weeks to allow him to challenge the cases before the High Court. For two remaining cases, the Court directed courts to first issue notices to complainants before proceeding against Galani.
