This judgment dismissed two criminal miscellaneous petitions seeking to quash proceedings for forgery under IPC Sections 465, 471, and 120B. The court held that prima facie evidence of forgery existed and no illegality was found in the lower court's order.
Criminal miscellaneous petitions were dismissed and interim orders, if any, were vacated.
