TULSI RAM vs STATE OF U. P.

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants for conspiracy to cheat under Section 420 IPC, ruling that the prosecution's letter from the Under Secretary indicating gubernatorial sanction was sufficient, despite the appellants' challenge regarding its validity. The Court clarified that under Section 196A of the Code of Criminal Procedure, the question of sanction could not be raised for the first time in the Supreme Court. Furthermore, it established that for cheating, it is not necessary to prove both wrongful gain and wrongful loss; proving either suffices, thus affirming the appellants' guilt despite no wrongful loss to the banks being established.
