In the case of State of Orissa v. Saroj Kumar Sahoo, : (2006) 2 SCC (Crl.) 272, Hon'ble the Apex Court has held that "When exercising jurisdiction under Section 482 of the Cr.P.C., the High Court would not ordinarily embark upon an enquiry whether the evidence in question is reliable or not or whether on a reasonable appreciation of it accusation would not be sustained. That is the function of the trial Judge."
(3.) HON 'ble the Apex Court in the same case has further held that "It would not be proper for the High Court to analyze the case of the complainant in the light of all probabilities in order to determine whether a conviction would be sustainable and on such premises arrive at a conclusion that the proceedings are to be quashed. It would be erroneous to assess the material before it and conclude that the complaint cannot be proceeded with.";
