Section 482 CrPC | Quashing Charge Sheet Mandatory If Allegations Fail Prima Facie Offence Test: Andhra Pradesh HC
The Andhra Pradesh High Court held that a charge sheet under Sections 420, 468, and 470 IPC must be quashed if the allegations do not disclose a prima facie offence. The ruling reinforces that Section 482 CrPC empowers courts to prevent abuse of process where no legal offence is made out, protecting accused from frivolous prosecutions.
