Dishonour of Cheque - civil nature dispute - The case revolves around allegations of fraudulent representation in a land transaction. The complainant asserts that the petitioner misrepresented ownership, leading to financial loss. - The High Court held that the scope of a civil proceeding is different from a criminal proceeding and the mere fact that the allegations relate to a commercial transaction or breach of contract for which a civil remedy is available, is not by itself a ground to quash the criminal proceedings. The court rejects jurisdictional challenges and affirms the criminal nature of the transaction. It refuses to quash proceedings, stating that the allegations warrant further investigation.
