2000 (1) TMI 909 - SUPREME COURTKarnataka High Court quashing a criminal proceeding instituted by the complainant-company alleging that the accused-respondent, a former director of the company committed an offence under section 630 of the Companies Act, 1956 Held that:- A bare scrutiny of the impugned judgment would indicate that the High Court has thought, as if it is trying the case, and then after weighing the materials it has come to a conclusion one way or the other. This is certainly in excess of the jurisdiction conferred on the High Court under section 482. In that view of the matter, no hesitation to come to the conclusion that the High Court by the impugned order has exceeded its jurisdiction vested under section 482 in quashing the criminal procee-ding. We, therefore, set aside the impugned order of the High Court and direct that the complaint proceeding should proceed in accordance with law.
