Relief to Soren as SC quashes proceedings against him in HC

In a relief to Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren, the SC quashed the proceedings against him in Jharkhand High Court on a PIL seeking probe against him for "money laundering" and said that HC entertained the plea despite lack of evidence. The SC said there is nothing wrong in allowing probe against people who occupy high offices but taking cognisance of the matter on generalised submissions which do not even make prima facie satisfaction of the court, is "abuse of the process of the court”.
