    Case Summary: Cr.M.P. No.82/2023 The High Court of Jharkhand quashed the entire criminal prosecution against Tapas Pal, holding that none of the charged offences (criminal breach of trust, cheating, intentional insult, and criminal intimidation under IPC Sections 406, 420, 504, 506) were made out. The court found that advance payment in a property sale transaction cannot constitute criminal breach of trust; cheating requires fraudulent intent from inception (not later change of mind); and allegations of mere abuse and threatening lacked the necessary legal elements for the respective offences.
