    What We Do

    Recover From — or Defend Against — Fraud

    Cheating (Section 420 PPC), criminal breach of trust (Section 406), and dishonest inducement cover a wide range of conduct — property scams, investment and business fraud, dishonoured promises, and misappropriation of money or goods entrusted to someone. These cases turn on dishonest intent and the paper trail.

    We act for victims — filing the complaint or FIR, tracing the money and documents, and pursuing the offender — and we defend clients facing false or exaggerated fraud allegations, which are often used as pressure in what are really civil disputes.

    Ask a Question
    What is the difference between cheating and criminal breach of trust?
    Cheating (Section 420 PPC) involves dishonestly inducing someone to part with property or money from the outset. Criminal breach of trust (Section 406 PPC) involves misappropriating property that was lawfully entrusted to the accused. The right charge depends on how the money or property changed hands — which we assess from the facts.
    Is a cheating (420) case bailable?
    Cheating under Section 420 PPC is generally non-bailable, though the position depends on the specific facts and charges. If you are accused, we move quickly on bail; if you are the victim, we pursue the offender. Contact us for a case-specific answer.
    Someone defrauded me of money or property — what should I do?
    Gather every document — agreements, receipts, transfers, messages — and act quickly. We file the complaint or FIR, help trace the funds, and pursue both the criminal case and, where useful, civil recovery. If the police delay, we file a 22-A petition.
    Can a civil dispute be turned into a false fraud case against me?
    Yes — fraud and cheating allegations are sometimes used to pressure the other side in what is really a civil dispute over money or property. We defend against such misuse, secure bail where needed, and show the true civil nature of the matter.
    Can I recover my money through a criminal fraud case?
    A criminal case punishes the offender and creates strong pressure, and recovery is often pursued alongside through civil proceedings or settlement. We advise on the combination most likely to get your money back.
