Laxmibai Arjun Ghodke vs Sandip Baban Ghodke — 242/2023

Summary The court rejected the petition seeking direction for police investigation under Section 156(3) of the Code of Criminal Procedure in a case involving alleged cheating (IPC §420) and criminal breach of trust (IPC §406). The complainant was directed to proceed with the complaint case under Section 200 of the CrPC, as the court found the case primarily depends on documentary evidence already available and forwarding it for formal investigation would unnecessarily delay proceedings.
