T. Chandrasekhar vs The State on 11 March, 2011
In 2010 (2) CTC 153 (Moosa Ahmed vs The Inspector of Police), this Court held that where a criminal proceedings is manifestly attended with malafides and where the proceeding is maliciously instituted with an ulterior motive for wrecking vengeance the proceedings could be quashed. Therefore, one of the ingredients of cheating as defined in Section 415 of the Penal Code is existence of an fraudulent or dishonest intention of making initial promise or existence thereof from the very beginning of formation of contract. Failure to keep promise subsequently, such a culpable intention right at the beginning, cannot be presumed.
