The Jharkhand High Court quashed criminal proceedings against Devender Pal Vij and Sonal Vij for cheating (Section 420) and criminal breach of trust (Section 406), finding the dispute was purely civil. The court held that since the petitioners had paid substantial amounts (₹10-11 lakhs of ₹20 lakhs owed) for bus rental and there was no allegation of deception at inception, the charges were unsustainable under settled law requiring dishonest intent from the transaction's beginning. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
