CW-2025-0077TelanganaJudgment 18 July 2025

Telangana Woman & Anr. vs State of Telangana & Anr.

The Supreme Court examined the arrest and eight-day custody of a 70-year-old accused in a civil sale-deed dispute under FIR No. 771 of 2020. The Supreme Court held that the complainant was misusing the process of police investigation so as to entangle the accused. The Supreme Court held that the arrest in a civil dispute clearly showed the complainant company's clout on the police agency. The Supreme Court quashed the FIR and all subsequent proceedings as a gross abuse of the process of law.
