These offences are mutually exclusive and it is difficult to say that both of these have been committed simultaneously. However, that said this cant be a sole ground to get it quashed. We would require other grounds.

Yes, Sections 420 and 406 IPC can be applied together if the accused is alleged to have been entrusted with property (for 406) and also dishonestly induced the victim to deliver the property through deception (for 420). The key distinction lies in whether there was a breach of trust along with fraudulent inducement. Courts have upheld that both offences can coexist when facts justify both cheating and criminal breach of trust. However, whether it can be quashed depends on the nature of allegations and supporting evidence. If no dishonest intention at inception is shown or it's purely a civil dispute, quashing under Section 482 CrPC may be considered by the High Court.
