M.e.sylvia v. State Of Uttarakhand and Another
Case brief
What is this about?
The Court allowed an application under Section 482 Cr.P.C. to quash a chargesheet in a criminal case involving cheating and forgery. Relying on previous rulings where similar applicants were cleared of default status after repaying loans, it held that since the applicant paid back the entire amount with interest and obtained a certificate, the criminal proceedings are liable to be quashed.
What did the court decide?
The chargesheet dated 18.02.2008 and the summoning order dated 24.03.2008 along with proceedings in Criminal Case No.526/2008 are quashed qua the applicant.
