SUSHIL KUMAR BHANSALI vs THE STATE OF BIHAR HOME DEPARTMENT SECRETARY — Crl.A. No. 209/2013

Summary of Crl.A. No. 209/2013 - Sushil Kumar Bhansali v. State of Bihar Outcome: The Supreme Court allowed the criminal appeals and quashed all criminal proceedings. The Court found that allegations of non-supply of gas cylinders despite receiving payments constituted a civil dispute, not a criminal offense under Section 409 IPC (criminal breach of trust). The High Court's orders refusing to quash proceedings were set aside, and Complaint Case No. 787/2001 and FIR Muzaffarpur Town P.S. Case No. 325/2005 were quashed. Related appeal CRL.A. No. 210/2013 became infructuous and was disposed of accordingly. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
