No fee is required to be paid by a Complainant unless they contract an Advocate.

Thank you for your question

Sec 420 IPC,1860-Cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property- Cheating basically means a situattion where a person deceives you and takes something or makes you do something which you would have not done otherwise.It warrants a punishment of (7 years), whcih has been laid down under section 420.

An important provision has been laid doen for arrest in a number of judgements such as Agnesh Kumar by the SC and others.As per the provision , a notice under section 41A CrPC has to be served to the person being arrested without fail.

If a case is about to be initiated against a person inder section 420, anticipatory bail can be applied for under sec438 CrPC.

According to me you should hire a good lawyer who will guide you more.

Hope this will help you

Best Regards,

Akshay Gupta
