Quashing of Criminal Proceedings -- Undisputed Official Service Record -- Prosecution can be quashed where material is unimpeachable and demolishes case
Criminal Procedure Code, 1973, S.482 -- Quashing of Criminal Proceedings -- Undisputed Official Service Record -- Undisputed official record of sterling and impeccable quality, capable of ruling out the factual assertions in the complaint and incapable of being refuted by the prosecution, justifies quashing of criminal proceedings before trial. The rule against a mini-trial at this stage does not require courts to ignore such contemporaneous, unimpeachable documentary material. Continuation of trial despite such material amounts to abuse of process of court.
