False 420 case in trial court, being harassed
19-Jun-2023 (In Criminal Law)
I was working full time and was going to apply for a master's program abroad.At that time my colleague's mother asked how I was applying,asked me to help with her son's process too. I helped them get an offer letter and appointment at the vfs. After I went abroad, she called me and told me that the visa was refused and the college wasn't returning her money.As I was abroad, she asked for my help. On contacting the college, I was told that they hadn't received the necessary documents to process the refund. I communicated the same to her. They kept sending incomplete documents and in the meantime started making claims that there is no college from where they sought admission in and I have taken their money from the college. Their own person volunteered too. I backed out from the process. They gave 4 police complaints and we were found innocent in all 4 enquires. Now she has lodged a criminal case under sec 420 in the trial court. We have got bail, what to do
First of all it is necessary for you to defend the case. As far as i can get from your query it is a complaint case filed against you before the Magistrate. First of all defend your case properly. Move an application to discharge in case charges are framed. File an application to quash the complaint and summoning orders. For further details contact me
