<h1>Supreme Court Quashes Criminal Case Against Goa MLA, Rules Land Dispute is Civil, Not Criminal.</h1> The Supreme Court dismissed a cheating case against a Goa MLA accused of land fraud. The MLA challenged a Bombay High Court decision that refused to quash an FIR alleging fraudulent property sales without co-owners' consent. The Supreme Court found the issue to be civil rather than criminal, as the complainant had already filed civil suits in 2018. The court ruled there was no evidence of deception or harm by the MLA, noting the delayed filing of the criminal complaint amid ongoing civil litigation. The FIR and related proceedings were quashed, without addressing the merits of the civil dispute.
