Headnote
COURT REPORTS (2009] 3 S.C.R. A order of trial court. Hence the present appeal. Partly allowing the appeal and remitting the matter to High Court, the Court HELD: 1. High Court should not have in a summary · B manner dismissed the appeal after having recorded that a criminal case may arise as to whether the allegation made was of a civil dispute or of a criminal nature no interference was called for. The approach is clearly erroneous. [Para 9] (177-H; 178-A] D Rajesh Bajaj v. State NCT 01 Delhi 1999 (3) SCC 259 and Trisuns Chemical Industry v. Rajesh Agarwal and Ors. 1999
