The document summarizes a 1938 court case from the Calcutta High Court between John Minas Apcar and Louis Caird Malchus. The plaintiff claimed the defendant represented the value of a property share being sold was much higher than its actual value by providing fraudulent letters. In court, the author of the letters testified the defendant had asked him to write them to inflate the price. The judgment found the letters were fraudulent and created to deceive potential buyers. The court concluded the contract was voidable due to fraud by the defendant.
