From the facts stated by you, it appears that two criminal cases have been initiated for the same cause of action, arising out of an alleged job placement dispute, invoking Sections 420, 468, 469, 471 and 120B IPC. It is a settled principle of law that multiple FIRs or proceedings for the same transaction are not legally sustainable. This itself constitutes a strong cause of action for quashing or for appropriate consolidation of proceedings. If both cases are based on identical allegations, documents and parties, remedies such as quashing under Section 482 CrPC, stay of parallel proceedings, or transfer/merger of cases can be explored before the Hon’ble High Court. Additionally, the essential ingredients of cheating and forgery must be strictly proved; mere contractual or employment-related disputes cannot automatically attract criminal liability. At this stage, a detailed examination of the FIRs, charge sheets (if any), and supporting materials is crucial to decide the best legal strategy—whether quashing, discharge, or trial defense. Timely legal intervention can prevent further coercive action and unnecessary harassment. You should proceed with a structured legal review of your case records so that appropriate relief can be sought at the earliest
