Section 411 IPC | Mere Absence of Permit in Invoice Insufficient to Prove Dishonest Receipt of Stolen Property: Karnataka HC Quashes Proceedings Against Corporate Accused

The court emphasized that prosecution must prove knowledge or conspiracy, setting a precedent for corporate criminal liability in cases involving stolen property.
