The Allahabad High Court quashed criminal proceedings against a man involved in a decade-long land dispute, citing a "fabricated" investigation. Justice Shekhar Kumar Yadav observed that including individuals who had died years prior as prosecution witnesses demonstrated a "non-application of mind." The court deemed the investigation unreliable and legally unsustainable, stating that continuing the case would be an abuse of the judicial process and result in a miscarriage of justice.
