2. This appeal is directed against the judgment dated June 5, 1999 of Allahabad High Court dismissing the application of the appellants filed under Section 482[482. Saving of inherent powers of High Court - Nothing in this Code shall be deemed or limit or affect the inherent powers of the High Court to make such orders as may be necessary to give effect to any order under this Code, or to prevent abuse of process of any Court or otherwise to secure the ends of justice.] of the Code of Criminal Procedure (for short, the 'Code'). By this application the appellants had sought quashing of the criminal proceedings pending against them under Section 406/420 xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx
8. Jurisdiction under section 482 of the Code has to be exercised with a great care. In exercise of its jurisdiction High Court is not to examine the matter superficially. It is to be seen if a matter, which is essentially of civil nature, has been given a cloak of criminal offence. Criminal proceedings are not a short cut of other remedies available in law. Before issuing process a criminal court has to exercise a great deal of caution. For the accused it is a serious matter. This Court has laid certain principles on the basis of which High Court is to exercise its jurisdiction under section 482 of the Code. Jurisdiction under this Section has to be exercised to prevent abuse of the process of any court or otherwise to secure the ends of justice.
9.
In State of Kanataka v. L. Munishwamy and others, AIR 1997 Supreme Court 1489: 1977(3) SCR 113 this Court said that in the exercise of the wholesome power under section 482 of the Code High Court is entitled to quash a proceeding if it comes to the conclusion that allowing the proceeding to continue would be an abuse of the process of the Court or that the ends of justice require that the proceedings are to be quashed.
xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx 11.
In Chandrapal Singh and others V. Maharaj Singh and another, AIR 1982 Supreme Court 1238, the judgment started as under:- "A frustrated landlord after having met his waterloo in the hierarchy of civil courts, has further enmeshed the tenant in a frivolous criminal prosecution which prima facie appears to be an abuse of the process of law. The facts when stated are so telling that the further discussion may appear to be superfluous."
This Court said :- "We see some force in the submission but it is equally true that chagrined and frustrated litigants should not be permitted to give vent to their frustration by cheaply invoking jurisdiction of the criminal court. Complainant herein is an Advocate. He lost is both courts in the rent control proceedings and has now rushed to the criminal court. This itself speaks volumes. Add to this the fact that another suit between the parties was pending from 1975. The conclusion is inescapable that invoking the jurisdiction of the criminal court in this background is an abuse of the process of law and the High Court rather glossed over this important fact while declining to exercise its power under Section 482 Criminal Procedure Code, 1973" 12.
This Court said that the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Secunderabad ought not to have taken cognizance of the proceedings. It said it considered it to be a fit case to invoke jurisdiction under section 482 of the Code. 13.
In the circumstances of the case in hand conclusion is inescapable that invoking the jurisdiction of criminal court for allegedly having committed offences under Sections 406/420 Indian Penal Code by the appellants is certainly an abuse of the process of law.
xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx As normally understood business of a finance company is to invite deposits, pay interest on that and also to give loans and
earn interest. A finance company also advances short term loans. In that case it is essentially a commercial transaction. xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx In any case there is no occasion for the complainant to prosecute the appellants under Sections 406/420 Indian Penal Code and in his doing so it is clearly an abuse of the process of law and prosecution against the appellants for those offences is liable to be quashed, which we do.
15. The appeal is allowed and judgment of the High Court dated June 5, 1999 is set aside and prosecution of the appellants under Sections 406/420 Indian Penal Code in Criminal Case No. 674/97 (now Criminal Case No. 6045/98) and pending in the Court of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Ghaziabad is quashed."

1 A9 45 "xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx It appears from a bare perusal of the complaint that it is a case of purely civil liability and no criminal offence is disclosed, much less offences either under section 406 or 420 Indian Penal Code. So far as the High Court is concerned, it has not considered this aspect of the matter, but has refused to quash the prosecution observing that it was a fit case where parties should take steps for settlement. In our view, allowing such prosecution to continue would amount to an abuse of the process of court and to prevent the same, it would be just and expedient to quash the same.
3. Accordingly, the appeal is allowed and prosecution of the appellants is hereby quashed."

Having examined the matter in detail and hearing the learned counsel for the parties, we are of the opinion that the dispute essentially is of civil nature and a perusal of the FIR makes it clear that the offences alleged against the appellants are not made out. The High Court ought to have examined the
allegations made in the FIR to adjudicate the matter. Instead, the High Court refused to quash the FIR on the ground that the investigation is in progress.
6.
In the facts and circumstances of the case, we set aside the judgment of the High Court and quash FIR No. 106/2011."
