Allegation of committing fraud and caused loss to the company by incorporating and joining a company which had a similar name and operating pattern - Vague allegations that confidential information and technical know-how were misused are insufficient. Even assuming that this offence is made out the complainant ought to have resorted to the remedy under the Act. This Court also finds that the complaint stems out from the grievance of the complainant that the petitioner had started a rival company and had diverted the business of the complainant. Such issues cannot be the subject matter of criminal prosecution in the absence of the necessary ingredients to constitute the offence alleged. The petitioner has other remedies available in law. Since the allegations do not attract the offences, this Court is inclined to quash the complaint. - HC
