The Karnataka High Court examined a case involving misappropriation of money collected from punters for GST and TDS payments. The court held that the allegations in the FIR disclosed a cognizable offense, rejecting the petitioners' argument that the police procedure was contrary to legal principles. The court emphasized that Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code should not be used to thwart a legitimate prosecution. The court found that the allegations and evidence collected during the investigation established a prima facie case of a cognizable offense, including serious allegations of misappropriation of funds. Consequently, the petition to quash the FIR was dismissed, allowing the investigation to proceed.
