Sardar Ravi Inder Singh vs The State Of Jharkhand

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal to quash criminal proceedings initiated under Section 200 of the CrPC against the trustees of a trust for alleged offences under Sections 420, 406, 424, and 120-B IPC. The Court held that the complaint was based on a sale transaction where the appellants had returned the entire advance amount, and thus, no prima facie case was established against them. The Court emphasized that the allegations lacked merit due to the prior settlement and withdrawal of the suit for specific performance, leading to the quashing of the criminal proceedings.
