RAJESH BAJAJ vs STATE NCT OF DELHI

The Supreme Court addressed the quashing of an FIR under Section 420 IPC by the Delhi High Court, which found that the complaint did not disclose an offence of cheating. The Court reiterated that jurisdiction under Article 226 and Section 482 CrPC should be exercised sparingly, and emphasized that the elements of cheating under Section 415 IPC were not satisfied in this case. The Court ultimately held that the High Court's decision to quash the FIR was justified, as the allegations amounted to a mere commercial dispute rather than criminal cheating.
