Arun Bhandari vs State Of U.P.& Ors

The Supreme Court examined the legality of the Allahabad High Court's order quashing cognizance taken under Sections 406 and 420 IPC by the Chief Judicial Magistrate. The Court held that the allegations in the FIR and protest petition did not constitute offences under these sections, affirming the High Court's decision. The ruling emphasized the distinction between civil disputes and criminal offences, reinforcing that mere breach of contract does not amount to criminal liability under IPC.
