Kerala High Court: <\/strong>The Bench of T.V. Anil Kumar, J., while pronouncing an order quashed the criminal proceedings stating them to be of a civil dispute.<\/p>\n

The facts of the case as presented in the present case are that, the prosecution case as against the petitioner is that, he after having obtained a mobile post-paid connection in his name, failed to discharge his liability for user charges for a period of 5 months. Allegation was that petitioner incurred a monetary liability of Rs 97,678 and after making a part payment of Rs 10, 580 he kept the balance in arrears. According to the prosecution, the default amounts to an offence of cheating <\/strong>punishable under Section 420 IPC.<\/p>\n

Petitioner\u2019s case is made out in the following manner, that the transaction in question is based on an agreement between the parties which turns the alleged liability to be purely of civil nature, <\/strong>due to which the petitioner sought consequential criminal proceedings to be quashed.<\/p>\n

High Court on marshalling the materials on record, concluded by stating that, the transaction involved between the parties is of a civil dispute as a purported liability of the petitioner seems to have been arisen from breach of promise or agreement.<\/p>\n

\u201cMere breach of trust or agreement will not by itself amount to a criminal offence under Section 420 IPC.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Therefore, as the legal proposition does not match the materials on record as well as the allegations, the criminal proceedings require to be quashed in view of the above stated. [Abdul Hakkem v.
