In Brief
A Director of Devi Polymers Private Limited was prosecuted for forgery, misappropriation of funds, breach of trust, and IT Act violations, allegedly for presenting a consultancy unit as a separate entity on a website. The Supreme Court held that the website clearly showed the consultancy services as part of Devi Polymers through links and shared address, with no fraudulent intent. No separate amounts were received by the appellant; all payments went to the company. The allegations did not constitute any offence. The Court quashed the prosecution, finding it an abuse of process initiated due to private disputes between relatives, with no reasonable prospect of conviction.
