    The Jharkhand High Court allowed Ram Swaroop Sinha's petition to quash criminal proceedings against him for alleged criminal breach of trust (IPC §406) and cheating (IPC §420). The court held that mere non-repayment of a ₹3,00,000 loan to a friend lacks the essential elements of these offences—specifically, the requisite mens rea (dishonest intention from transaction inception) and proof of dishonest misappropriation. Accordingly, the entire case was quashed as an abuse of process. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
