Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal concerning the FIR lodged under Section 406, 420, and 506(1) IPC, where the complainant alleged that the appellant failed to pay Rs. 10 lacs for broadcasting 'God TV' through cable operators. The Court emphasized that the absence of a written agreement between the parties does not negate the possibility of criminal liability under the IPC for cheating and criminal breach of trust. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's decision to proceed with the criminal charges against the appellant.
