Contractual indemnity does not bar criminal prosecution where allegations disclose cognizable offences rather than a mere civil breach. Claims that an agent introduced non-existent suppliers, produced documents to establish their genuineness, and facilitated fabricated GST invoices and supporting records for wrongful input-tax-credit claims may indicate dishonest intent from the inception of the transactions. Such disputed allegations require determination in criminal proceedings and cannot be conclusively resolved through inherent-jurisdiction proceedings to quash an FIR. The criminal proceedings were permitted to continue without any determination on the merits.
