Supreme Court Stays Cheating Case Against Shaadi.com Founder Anupam Mittal

The Supreme Court has stayed criminal proceedings against Shaadi.com founder Anupam Mittal, who was accused in a cheating case after a woman alleged she was defrauded by a man she met on the platform.

The man reportedly took over ₹10 lakh and later threatened her. Mittal, who was not initially named, was added during the investigation.

He argued that the man registered via mobile OTP without uploading ID, which was visible, and the woman chose to engage outside the platform.

Citing Shaadi.com’s role as an intermediary under the Information Technology Act, 2000, Mittal claimed misuse of the legal process. The Court issued notice to the Telangana Police and stayed further proceedings.
