Orders
Summary: S.K. Suvarna v. Heman Kumar Taurani (Crl.A. 1704/2010) The Supreme Court allowed S.K. Suvarna's appeal and quashed criminal proceedings against him arising from Criminal Complaint No. 720 of 2003 (filed under IPC Section 500 for alleged defamatory remarks in a written statement). While the High Court had partly quashed proceedings against 12 co-accused, it dismissed Suvarna's petition solely because he signed the statement on behalf of Bank of Baroda. The Supreme Court found the matter was 12 years old with an interim stay since 2005, and the complainant had abandoned similar proceedings against other accused in 2016, demonstrating lack of prosecution interest. The Court held no purpose would be served in continuing proceedings. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
