    Summary The Gujarat High Court quashed an FIR against three accused (property developers and a broker) charged under IPC Sections 406 (criminal breach of trust) and 420 (cheating) for a real estate transaction. The court found that the essential ingredients of both offences were absent: there was no entrustment of property (since property passes to buyer on delivery in a sale), no deception by the applicants (the investment was through accused No. 2, not directly with applicants), and a two-year unexplained delay in filing proceedings constituted abuse of process. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
