KRISHNAN & ANR. vs KRISHNAVENI & ANR.

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal arising from a Madras High Court judgment regarding a dispute over a fraudulent agreement to sell land, which was executed under the pretense of a power of attorney. The Court held that the allegations under Sections 420 and 406 IPC were substantiated, emphasizing that the essence of the complaint involved criminal deception rather than a mere civil dispute. Consequently, the Court set aside the lower court's discharge order, allowing the case to proceed on its merits.
