Need ur kind opinion

yes he can file complaint for cheating under 420 . he can file suit for recovery of meoney with interest

you can file a suit for recovery of money with interest amount and litigation costs..

The answer is yes to all your questions. The first one would be the fastest too. But remember your friend's friend may not have cheated your friend only. He may have cheated other gullible persons too. If all the creditors simultaneously clamour to recover their monies, your friend's friend may not have enough money or property with hin to satisfy all. You will get no privilege treatment. You will have to stand in the queue and wait for your turn and proportionate amount. So if the case has not already become public,  proceed carefully without any publicity.

Wish you good luck.

Thank you very much to all for your kind replies.

Thanks to LCI Forum to clarify the queries for the public.
