The court held that since no debt or liability had arisen under the Agreement to Sell/Addendum, the essential ingredients of the offence were not satisfied. Applying the principle from S.P. Mani Mohan Dairy v. Snehalatha Elangovan, the court found that even accepting all complaint allegations as true, the necessary elements for establishing debt/liability were lacking. The court exercised its power under Section 482 CrPC to quash the complaint as the offence was not made out on bare reading. en-us Thu, 29 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 05 Mar 2024 14:55:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=450441 Delhi HC quashed a complaint under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act in a dishonoured cheque case.
