Kerala High Court observed that cheating cases cannot be quashed merely because they had paid back some of the amounts to those whom they had cheated.
The observation was made by Hon'ble Mr. Justice Harun Al Rashid while considering petitions filed by Saritha S Nair and Biju Radhakrishnan, two accused in the Solar Panel scam, seeking to quash the cases against them in the scam. They contended that they were settling the matter out of court.
