Case History
The Supreme Court allowed Lalmuni Devi's appeal and set aside the High Court's order quashing a criminal complaint alleging fraudulent execution of a gift deed. The Court held that facts constituting both civil wrongs and criminal offenses can sustain criminal prosecution simultaneously, and merely because civil remedies are available does not preclude criminal proceedings when offenses under IPC sections 419, 420, 467, and 120B are made out.
