Key Points: - The essential ingredient for an offence under Section 406 IPC is entrustment of property and dishonest misappropriation or conversion; in this case, the amount paid was not entrusted to the accused (!) . - For Section 420 IPC, intent to deceive must exist at the time of inducement; mere subsequent failure to keep a promise cannot establish cheating, though subsequent conduct may be relevant to infer intent (!) . - The court quashed the FIR as essential ingredients of Sections 406 and 420 IPC were not made out against the petitioner (!) . - The agreement stated possession of the land by the petitioner, placing a duty on the purchaser to ascertain possession; concealment of possession facts was not sufficiently proven to establish fraud (!) . - Civil disputes can coexist with criminal proceedings; prima facie examination is enough at the quashing stage to determine if essential ingredients of an offence are disclosed (!) (!) . - The petition was allowed and FIR No. 94/2014 was quashed and set aside (!) . - The case references include legal standards from Md. Ibrahim & Ors. v. State of Bihar, Inder Mohan Goswami, State of Kerala v. Pareed Pillai, Anil Kumar v. Ajai Butail, and Anil Mahajan v. Bhor Industries Ltd (cited in arguments) (!) (!) . - Facts: alleged agreement to sell, advance paid, land later found in possession of others, and sale to a third party; petitioner’s conduct and possession orders discussed (!) (!) (!) . - The court emphasized that inability to prove entrustment or dishonest intent at the time of inducement defeats both Section 406 and Section 420 IPC at the prima facie stage (!) (!) . - The petition and stay were disposed of with a quashing of the FIR and investigation (!) .
