A.M. Mohan vs The State Rep By Sho

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's rejection of the appellant's petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. to quash the FIR registered under Section 420 IPC read with Section 34 IPC. The Court established that the ingredients of cheating under Section 420 IPC were sufficiently met, as the complainant had transferred substantial amounts under false pretenses related to business ventures. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision, emphasizing that the allegations warranted further investigation rather than quashing the proceedings.
