Suresh vs Mahadevappa Shivappa Danannava And Anr

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's criminal revision petition under Section 401 of the Cr.P.C., affirming the lower court's cognizance of offences under Sections 196, 209, 386, 403, 406, and 420 IPC. The Court emphasized that the execution of the agreement to sell and the receipt of advance payment were disputed facts, which warranted a trial. The judgment reinforced the principle that allegations of fraud and breach of contract necessitate thorough examination in a criminal context.
