    The High Court of Jharkhand quashed the entire criminal proceedings and cognizance order against petitioners Abhishek Kumar and Pankaj Kumar in a land sale dispute case involving charges under IPC Sections 420 (cheating) and 406 (criminal breach of trust). The court held that the dispute was essentially civil in nature—involving an advance payment for land with refusal to execute the sale deed—and that mere breach of contract without deception at inception cannot constitute these criminal offences, citing settled Supreme Court precedents. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
