We placed an order for materials worth ₹90,000 last December, paying an advance of ₹10,000 upfront. The supplier claimed the materials were ready after a few days and sent a proforma invoice, prompting us to pay the remaining balance. They even provided a US bill of lading number. However, the materials never arrived, and the bill of lading turned out to be fake. The supplier then began sending partial deliveries – ₹25,000 worth of materials after two months, another ₹20,000 after six months, and finally ₹1,000 after ten months. We intend to file a case of cheating under IPC Section 420. What is the correct legal procedure we should follow?

You should file a formal complaint with the local police station under IPC Section 420, detailing the fraudulent transaction, the fake bill of lading, and the delayed and incomplete deliveries. You should also attach copies of the proforma invoice, payment receipts, and any communication with the supplier.
