The Court found that the complaint was not barred by limitation under Section 468 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, as the allegations of cheating and misrepresentation were substantiated. The Court emphasized that the complainant's claims were valid and warranted a trial, rejecting the appellants' arguments regarding the complaint's merits and the alleged suppression of facts.
