Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Sections 419 and 420 IPC for cheating and misrepresentation. The Court found that the appellant induced the complainant to lend money by falsely representing himself as his brother and misrepresenting the ownership of a lorry as security. The High Court's judgment was confirmed, emphasizing that the evidence of the complainant was sufficient to establish guilt despite the trial court's acquittal, which was deemed erroneous.
