Sharda Khandelwal W/O Braj Mohan Khandelwal, v. State of Rajasthan
Case brief
What is this about?
The court set aside an order quashing two related FIRs filed against the petitioner accused and a domestic helper. It held that where domestic and civil offenses arose from a single incident, immediate quashing was premature and violated fundamental rights, directing stays on the proceedings and remitting the cases for further inquiry.
What did the court decide?
Quashed order quashing FIRs; accused petitioners restored to trial status; domestic helper's cases remitted for further inquiry; petition against domestic helper disposed of by extending stay.
