Summary The High Court of Uttarakhand dismissed Harendra Malik's application to quash criminal proceedings against him for alleged dishonest misappropriation and cheating. The court held that while the dispute arose from a contractual arrangement involving seed processing services, the FIR allegations prima facie disclosed ingredients of criminal offences under IPC Sections 409 and 420, and that disputed factual questions regarding whether quantity discrepancies resulted from dishonest misappropriation or accounting issues cannot be resolved under Section 482 CrPC but must be determined at trial. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
