Vijay Balaji, Vs The State of Tamil Nadu

2.The case of the prosecution is that the petitioners and other accused had received a sum of Rs.14,00,000/- from the defacto complainant by giving false assurance that they would consider him as business partner and share the profit. However, the money has not been returned and the accused cheated the defacto complainant. Hence, the complaint.
