Refund orders issued by RERA cannot be executed by setting the criminal law into motion – Mrs. U. Anitha Reddy and Ors. Vs. State of Karnataka and Anr. – Karnataka High Court

Hon’ble Karnataka High Court held that the daughter of the complainant has knocked at the doors of RERA and secured an order of refund of Rs. 60,91,329/-. It was the duty of the complainant to get the order executed. Refund orders cannot be executed by setting the criminal law into motion. For an offence under Section 420 of the IPC, the dishonest intention of the accused must be writ large right from the inception. These are agreements between the parties. Therefore, there can be no question of dishonest intention to cheat the victim.
