‘Only a defrauded purchaser under sale deed can file cheating case’; SC quashes cheating case against Goa MLA Jit Vinayak Arolkar
“If a person sells a property knowing that it does not belong to him, and thereby defrauds the person who purchased the property, the person defrauded, that is, the purchaser, may complain that the vendor committed the fraudulent act of cheating. But a third party who is not the purchaser under the deed may not be able to make such complaint.”
