SC, FIR set aside because loan default lacked Entrustment: Case of Sunil Sharma vs Hero Fincorp Limited, SC Judgement Dated 12th August 2025. The apex court ruled that mere failure to repay loan in a commercial transaction is a civil liability, not a criminal offense, quashing criminal proceedings (FIR) for criminal breach of trust (Section 406 IPC) as an abuse of process, highlighting that dishonest intention (mens rea) is essential for criminal liability, which was not proven.
