Section 482 CrPC | Directors Cannot Seek Quashing Post-Charge Sheet for Chit Fund Fraud Without Trial : Karnataka HC

The Karnataka High Court ruled that directors of a finance company cannot invoke Section 482 CrPC to quash criminal proceedings after a charge sheet is filed in a ₹115-crore chit fund fraud case. The court held that prima facie evidence of involvement necessitates trial, reinforcing that quashing is not permissible once charges are framed.
