Section 5 TGPDFEA | 'Investment' Under MOU Not a 'Deposit' for Non-Bailable Offence: Telangana HC Grants Bail in ₹8.5 Crore Fraud Case
Telangana High Court clarifies that funds documented as investments under MOUs-even with promised returns-do not qualify as 'deposits' under the Telangana Protection of Depositors in Financial Establishments Act (TGPDFEA). The ruling reinforces that contractual terms govern statutory classification, shielding accused from non-bailable provisions where no deposit receipt or unconditional repayment obligation exists.
