M.D. JAIN vs BHAGYAVATHI — Crl.A. No. 2133/2009

Summary: M.D. Jain appealed against the High Court's denial of his discharge in contempt proceedings arising from allegations that he had tampered with court documents in collusion with court staff. A CBI investigation (dated 13.04.2005) found no material or circumstantial evidence against Jain and concluded the complaints by his former wife Bhagyavathi were false. The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's impugned order and allowed the appeal, noting the High Court had mistakenly believed the CBI inquiry was directed only at court staff, when Jain was actually the primary accused. The Court requested the High Court to reconsider the matter afresh in light of the CBI report exonerating Jain.
