The Supreme Court in State of Odisha v. Pratima Mohanty etc 1 observed as under: “6.2. Quashing of a complaint/FIR should be an exception rather than any ordinary rule. Normally the criminal proceedings should not be quashed in exercise of powers under Section 482 Cr.P.C. when after a thorough investigation the charge-sheet has been filed.” 5. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner also prays for liberty to file application seeking discharge. Let all those aspects be considered by the concerned Court. 6. With these observations, petition stands disposed of. PURUSHAINDRA KUMAR KAURAV, J SEPTEMBER 2, 2026/P 1 [2021] 9 S.C.R 335, para 6.2 This is a digitally signed order.
