MITABEN MANHARBHAI PATEL vs ASHIKA ASHISHKUMAR PATEL — 5/2025

Case 5/2025 Summary Petitioner Mitaben Manharbhai Patel filed a private complaint alleging that respondent Nilkaben Shirishbhai Desai, a visa consultant, defrauded her of ₹26 lakhs by promising work permits for Kenya. The petitioner paid ₹15 lakhs in advance through RTGS and cash, with the balance payable upon permit delivery, but the respondents allegedly misappropriated funds and failed to deliver after 2.5 years. The court dismissed the complaint under BNS Section 226, finding insufficient supporting evidence—the petitioner failed to provide bank statements, witness lists, or witness names despite police investigation confirming the transaction occurred in Kenya beyond Indian jurisdiction.
