Reason for Filing the Case:Allegations of non-payment of professional dues and financial aid advanced to the hospital. Prior Decisions:Special Civil Suit No.1161 of 2018 filed by the complainant for recovery of Rs.53,11,652/- was pending before the Civil Judge, Senior Division, Pune. Issues:Whether the dispute between the parties was of a civil or criminal nature, and whether criminal proceedings were maintainable alongside a pending civil suit.

Ratio:No criminal offence was made out against the petitioners — Allegations of non-payment related to a period before the petitioners took control of the hospital — Civil remedy already sought by the complainant — No dishonest inducement proven as required under Sections 415 and 420 of IPC.
