Supreme Court Quashes FIR Against Foreign National in Rs 9 Crore Dispute

The Supreme Court has quashed an FIR against foreign national Kim Wansoo, accused of defaulting on a Rs 9 crore payment tied to a development project. The court found the allegations vague, and stated that continuing the trial would be an abuse of legal process, resulting in a miscarriage of justice.

The Supreme Court has dismissed an FIR against Kim Wansoo, a foreign national, accused of failing to pay Rs 9 crore to a company over a development project.

A bench comprising Justices C T Ravikumar and Sanjay Kumar overruled the 2020 decision of the Allahabad High Court, stating the allegations against Wansoo were vague.

The court clarified that insisting on a trial under these circumstances constitutes an abuse of legal process, thereby quashing any further proceedings.
