NARESH GULIA vs STATE OF DELHI .

The Supreme Court held that the appellant, not being a party to the agreement between Daljit Kukreja and Capt. Tej Pal Singh, cannot be charged under Section 420 IPC for cheating, as no dishonest intention was alleged against him at the time of the agreement. The Court emphasized that the absence of the appellant's involvement in the agreement negates any claim of representation with dishonest intent. Consequently, the First Information Report and charge-sheet were quashed, and the appeal was allowed.
