Unknown vs Unknown — Criminal proceedings quashed under IPC sections 406, 420, 109, and 34

The Supreme Court quashed an FIR and chargesheet under Sections 406, 420, 109, and 34 of the IPC, setting aside a Madras High Court order that had refused to quash the case.

CBI arrested IAS officer Pankaj Agarwal in connection with an alleged Rs 657-crore fraud involving IDFC First Bank. Chargesheets have been filed against five bankers, one CSCL official, and one private individual. The case involves suspected financial misconduct at multiple levels.

Actor Darshan and multiple co-accused are charged in connection with the murder of Renukaswamy. Darshan was arrested on June 11, 2024. The Karnataka High Court granted bail to Darshan and co-accused on December 13, 2024, which the State of Karnataka appealed to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court reserved judgment on the State's appeal on July 24, 2025.
