Summary: Crl.A. No. 1354/2004 — Rakesh Kumar Khare v. State of Jharkhand On 19 February 2009, the Supreme Court disposed of the appeal challenging the Jharkhand High Court's rejection of a Section 482 CrPC petition. The appellant sought to quash criminal proceedings (under IPC Sections 406, 420, 120) alleging non-supply of cement, arguing the restraint letter from the District Rural Development Agency caused the supply failure and continuance was abuse of process. The Court upheld the High Court's decision, finding prima facie case existed and dismissing the appeal without expressing merit opinions, directing that any future discharge petition be considered uninfluenced by prior observations.
