    Summary of Cr.M.P. No. 1765/2025 The Jharkhand High Court quashed the criminal proceeding against Basant Narayan, a college principal accused of criminal breach of trust (IPC §406) and cheating (IPC §420) for non-payment of Rs. 15.90 lakhs for work rendered. The court found no prima facie case existed because: (1) cheating requires deception from transaction inception—absent here; and (2) criminal breach of trust requires proof of entrustment and dishonest misappropriation, but the complainant received advance money, not the reverse. The dispute was purely contractual, not criminal. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
