“We had initiated criminal proceedings against the opposite party. The opposite party initiated proceedings under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 before the Bombay High Court to quash our criminal proceedings. The Firm has been successful in defending us in the quashing proceedings and arguing that the contractual default was in fact criminal in nature and was a case of cheating. The Bombay High Court gave us an order in our favour and held that the criminal proceedings have to continue in the lower court in Daman. We appreciate the Firm’s support and expertise in helping us win this case.”
