Section 482 CrPC | Mere Preparation of Inspection Report Without Disbursement Role Insufficient for FIR Quashing Under PCA : HP HC

Himachal Pradesh High Court refuses to quash FIR against a former IL&FS manager under the Prevention of Corruption Act, holding that merely preparing an inspection report-without authority over grant disbursement or fraudulent intent-does not establish a prima facie offence. The ruling clarifies the threshold for quashing proceedings where the accused lacks direct control over misused funds.
