Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed whether a breach of contract for the sale of land constitutes an offence under Section 406 and Section 420 of the Indian Penal Code. The Court held that mere breach of contract does not amount to criminal breach of trust or cheating unless there is a clear intention to deceive at the time of the agreement. The appeal was dismissed, affirming that the allegations did not substantiate the criminal charges under the cited sections.
