KANUMUKKALA KRISHNA MURTHY vs STATE OF ANDHRA PRADESH

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 419 IPC for cheating the Madras Public Service Commission by making false representations in his application for a government post. The Court clarified that deception of the Service Commission, which acts as an adviser to the Government, constitutes deception of the Government itself under Section 415 IPC. The Court confirmed that the appellant's misrepresentations persisted until the Government was misled, thereby affirming the lower courts' decisions.
