Case brief
What is this about?
The petitioner sought quashing of an FIR alleging he sent a WhatsApp link promising a loan sanction, collected money from the complainant, and had amounts credited to his account. The petitioner denied involvement and claimed the email ID in the complaint was not his. The court held that since the complaint alleged amounts were credited to the petitioner's account and he directed the complainant to an online portal, investigation was required. The petition was dismissed without prejudice to the petitioner.
What did the court decide?
Petition to quash FIR and complaint dismissed; investigation to proceed in accordance with law.
