Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the allegations in the complaint under Section 420 IPC do not disclose any offence, as the complainant was aware of the demolition of the rooms and the dispute regarding the property was already subject to a civil suit. The Court emphasized that for a charge of cheating under Section 415 IPC, there must be a clear intention to deceive, which was absent in this case. Consequently, the High Court's dismissal of the petition for quashing the complaint was set aside, and the complaint was quashed.
