Cheating Cases
Cheating Case Lawyer Delhi
Defence and complainant representation in cheating matters — Section 420 IPC / Section 318 BNS — across Delhi.
Cheating allegations are easy to make and difficult to defend without the right strategy. A failed business deal, a delayed refund, a partnership gone sour — any of these can be coloured as cheating. We defend accused persons facing 420 FIRs and also represent victims of genuine fraud.
Cheating Matters We Handle
Defence in Section 420 IPC / Section 318 BNS FIRs, anticipatory and regular bail, FIR quashing where the dispute is essentially civil, criminal complaints under Section 200 CrPC / Section 223 BNSS for genuine cheating victims, and connected matters involving forgery (Sections 467, 468 IPC / Sections 336, 338 BNS) and criminal breach of trust (Section 406 IPC / Section 316 BNS).
The Threshold for Cheating
Section 415 IPC requires fraudulent or dishonest intention at the inception. Mere breach of contract or failure to perform does not amount to cheating. We assess every brief — defence or complaint — against this settled standard.
Civil vs Criminal Colour
The Supreme Court has repeatedly cautioned against giving a criminal colour to civil disputes. Cheating FIRs based on commercial defaults are routinely quashed under Section 482 CrPC. We treat quashing as the first-line remedy in such matters.
