    Case Summary: Cr.M.P. No. 4564/2022 The Jharkhand High Court allowed the petition of Kumud Kumar Jha and quashed the entire criminal proceeding, including the 2007 cognizance order under Section 417 IPC (cheating). The court found that while allegations of confinement, abuse, and coercion existed, the essential ingredients of cheating—deception and fraudulent/dishonest inducement to deliver property—were absent from the complaint, making the offense legally unmade out despite accepting facts as true.
