Case History
Summary of Crl.A. No. 001617/2013 (Kewal Krishan v. State of Punjab) The Supreme Court allowed Kewal Krishan's appeal on September 30, 2013, quashing the criminal complaint against him for alleged criminal breach of trust and misappropriation of paddy bags worth Rs. 51 lakhs. The Court found that since the appellant had substantially paid Rs. 31,23,838 before the FIR was filed (acknowledged by respondents on 16.09.96), the dispute was essentially for debt recovery rather than a criminal matter. The Court clarified that respondents remain free to pursue civil remedies for any unpaid amounts. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
