Case Summary: State of Bihar v. Purushottam Singh (Crl.A. No. 992/2000) On November 17, 2000, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order quashing criminal proceedings against respondents accused of offences under IPC Sections 420, 201, 120-B and Prevention of Corruption Act Sections 13(1)-(2). The High Court had quashed proceedings solely because respondents were exonerated in departmental proceedings, but the Supreme Court held the High Court failed to examine the investigating agency's voluminous material to assess prima facie sufficiency for framing charges. The Court remanded all matters to the High Court for fresh consideration in accordance with law, allowing parties to raise all contentions.
