It focuses on the quashing of criminal proceedings against the appellant. The case originated from an accusation that an educational society, run by the appellant, submitted a forged no-objection certificate (NOC) from the Fire Department to obtain institutional recognition. However, the Court found that an NOC was not required for buildings under 15 meters, and the appellant's building was 14.20 meters, meaning the alleged false representation did not induce the Education Department. Ultimately, the appeal was allowed, and the criminal proceedings for cheating and forgery were quashed as essential ingredients of these offenses, such as dishonest inducement or the making of the forged document, were not met.
