Petitioners’ Relief Sought:Quashing of FIR No.98 of 2020 lodged at Bhosari Police Station and the charge-sheet arising from it. 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. Submissions/Arguments:(a) Petitioners: FIR related to events preceding their control of the hospital — No criminal intention or inducement established — Civil suit already instituted for the same financial claims. (b) Respondents: Civil and criminal proceedings can proceed simultaneously — Alleged WhatsApp messages demonstrated promises to clear dues. Decision:FIR and charge-sheet quashed — Court held that the case was purely civil in nature, with no elements of cheating or criminality — Proceedings deemed an abuse of process of law. 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.
