Summary
- The Gujarat High Court has quashed an FIR against an advocate accused of criminal conspiracy, stating that mere phone conversations do not establish participation in a conspiracy.
- Justice P.M. Raval highlighted that CCTV footage contradicted the complainant's claims and showed the applicant was not present during the alleged threat.
- The Court found no substantive evidence linking the advocate to the alleged offence, emphasizing that confessions from co-accused cannot solely implicate others.
- This ruling underscores the necessity of concrete evidence for establishing criminal conspiracy, potentially impacting similar cases in the future.
