Fraud Case Lawyers in Chennai

What is fraud cases?
Cheating and criminal breach of trust are offences under criminal law, while the same facts may also support a civil claim for recovery or damages. Courts distinguish between a genuine breach of contract and a case involving dishonest inducement, which is often central to these matters.
