Facts not relevant/ not sufficient for giving a clean chit to the accused concerned, nor for quashment of criminal proceedings. Quashment of FIR by High Court against private respondents on ground that fabrication of documents is permissible if it does not cause loss to the revenue, held, completely unsustainable. No purpose of sending the matter back to the High Court as almost a decade has passed. Held, the private respondents cannot take advantage of the same as clean chit to them.
