Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the petition seeking to quash criminal proceedings under Sections 420, 120B, 294(b), 506(ii), and 114 IPC, affirming that the allegations of fraud and breach of trust were sufficient to proceed with the case. The Court emphasized that the trust placed by the complainant in the accused, coupled with their inducements, constituted a prima facie case of cheating. The judgment reinforces the principle that the trust and reliance on representations made by the accused can establish the necessary elements of fraud under the IPC.
