https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=430940 A Bombay HC decision applied Section 482 CrPC to quash an FIR arising from flat sale and purchase transactions in a real-estate project, holding that the dispute was essentially civil in nature. The Court relied on the complaint material and prior police enquiry, which had treated the matter as civil, and noted that an attempted A Summary report had not led to any effective criminal investigation. It reiterated that criminal process cannot be used to convert a civil dispute into a criminal case, and that quashing is appropriate where continuation of proceedings would serve no useful purpose.
