Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the quashing of FIR No.227 of 2017 under Sections 420, 120B, and 34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, concerning allegations of cheating and conspiracy. The Court held that the absence of a written agreement regarding the purpose of a significant monetary transfer raised questions about the nature of the transaction, whether it was a loan or an advance for property purchase. The Court ultimately allowed the appeals filed by the State of Arunachal Pradesh against the Rajasthan High Court's decision to quash the FIR, reinstating the proceedings against the accused.
