Case: Sharad Darade v. State of Maharashtra with 8 connected matters

Coram: Justices Prasanna B. Varale and Shrikant D. Kulkarni

Case No.: Writ Petition Nos. 1806 of 2021

Court Observation: “Considering all these aspects, we find merit in the submissions of learned Counsel appearing for the Petitioners and in our opinion, these are the fit cases so as to exercise the powers of this Court under Section 482 of CrPC to prevent an abuse of process of law”

“In such a situation, if both these alleged objects are not substantially established and it is only in the form of certain allegations and an impression of the deceased, then on such an unacceptable and unsustainable material asking the Petitioners to undergo the rigors of criminal prosecution, is nothing but an abuse of process of law”
