<h1>Abuse of process: cheating FIR quashed where dispute was civil and complaint was delayed amid pending suits.</h1> The FIR alleging fraudulent sale of jointly owned land was quashed as an abuse of criminal process because the dispute was primarily civil, civil suits asserting co-ownership predated the complaint, no evidence showed deception or loss by the appellant, and the delayed filing without disclosing pending litigation justified setting aside the FIR only as against the appellant while leaving civil merits undecided.
