        Case Summary โ€“ Cheating / Fraud

        – An Indian company received approx. โ‚น20 lakh advance from a Belgium-based company for supply/export of goods.

        – Payment was made via bank transfer (full proof available).

        – No goods were shipped. No intent to ship the goods by supplier from day 1.

        – Despite repeated follow-ups over ~1 year, the supplier gave no response.

        – Recently, Belgium company employee in India filed a complaint at commissioners office. Now after after police pressure, the supplier owner appeared in Police station and claimed in police station he will ship the goods within 2โ€“3 weeks.

        – Police are suggesting filing an FIR under they are in favour of the Belgium company.

        Now we have 2 options:

        1. Proceed with FIR immediately. Then he has to take bail from High court as per info from police. We are worried that court case can drag for years if we choose this.

        2. Allow one last chance for shipment under written undertaking at police station. But there is risk again whether he will ship or not OR maybe he will ship faulty goods just to get shipped proof. How to safeguard if we go with this option?

        Please help what is the best option. Police has called both parties on Monday and we need to make a choose one out of above 2 options.
