💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court of India emphasized the importance of judicial intervention to prevent vexatious legal proceedings, quashing the criminal prosecution of two individuals accused of obstructing a public servant. The bench, led by Justices P.S. Narasimha and Joymalya Bagchi, highlighted that summoning an accused is a serious matter affecting liberty and dignity. The court noted that the Allahabad High Court had not adequately considered the facts or the appellants' contentions before refusing to quash the case.
