SC upholds quashing of case against Jerusalem Mathai in cash-for-vote scam

New Delhi, Oct 14 (UNI) The Supreme Court has upheld the Telangana High Court’s decision to quash criminal proceedings against Jerusalem Mathai in the 2015 cash-for-vote scam, finding no material evidence linking him to the alleged offence.
A bench comprising Chief Justice of India BR Gavai and Justice K. Vinod Chandran dismissed the special leave petitions (SLPs) filed by the Telangana government and then MLA Elvis Stephenson, observing that there was “nothing to connect A4 (Mathai) to the crime except a casual allegation.”
The court noted that no First Information Report (FIR) was registered under Section 154 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, on the written complaint initially made by Stephenson, and that the FIR eventually registered mentioned the police presence at the location of the alleged incident.
