Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is the difference between Section 420 IPC and Section 318 BNS?
   In 2026, Section 318 BNS is the new governing law. While the core elements of cheating remain similar, the BNS provides more detailed illustrations and integrates digital deception more explicitly. The punishment for aggravated cheating remains up to 7 years.
   
   
2. Can a “cheating case” be filed for a simple business loss?
   No. The Supreme Court has repeatedly held (including in 2026 precedents) that every breach of contract is not cheating. To be a crime, there must be dishonest intent at the inception. As your cheating case lawyer in Noida, we specialize in moving the High Court to quash such “civil-to-criminal” conversions.
   
   
3. How is a “forged electronic record” proven in 2026?
   Under the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA), electronic records require specific certifications. We work with digital forensic experts to challenge the “chain of custody” and the authenticity of metadata in forgery allegations.
   
   
4. Is a forgery case bailable in 2026?
   General forgery under Section 336(2) BNS is typically bailable. However, if the forgery is committed for the purpose of cheating or involves a “valuable security” (like a property deed), it becomes non-bailable and far more serious.
