Order
ORDER RESERVED ON :: 19/04/2022
ORDER PRONOUNCED ON :: 26/04/2022
The instant criminal misc. petitions have been preferred by
the accused petitioners praying therein to quash FIR No.126/2021
(2 of 4) [CRLMP-1719/2022]
registered at Police Station Ramnagariya Jaipur City (East) for the
offence under Sections 420, 467, 468, 471, 384 and 120-B IPC.
Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the
respondent No.2-Shankar Lal Meena and petitioner-Veer Singh are
very closed friends. They were doing the business in the title of
Sale and Purchase of Plots. The present FIR was lodged by
respondent No.2 Shankar Lal Meena merely to settle the score and
account instead of filing civil suit. Learned counsel for the
petitioners also submits that Smt. Gulab Devi executed a Power of
Attorney in favour of Smt. Vijay Laxmi and as per the said Power
of Attorney, petitioners had executed a sale agreement in favour
of Manisha on 15.03.2014. Learned counsel for the petitioners
also submits that the petitioners are ready to execute the sale
deed of Plot No.67 in favour of Manisha instead of Plot No.68 and
thus there is no mala-fide intention of the petitioners. Learned
counsel for the petitioners further submits that the petitioners are
ready to return the money given by the respondent with interest
@ 7.5 per annum if the complainant does not want to execute the
sale deed of plot No.67. Learned counsel for the petitioners further
submits that Dheer Singh executed the Power of Attorney in
favour of the petitioner-Smt.Vijay Laxmi. Learned counsel for the
petitioners further submits that the present case pertains to civil
nature but complainant gave criminal colour to it instead of filing
of suit for specific performance and cancellation of sale deed.
Complainant had filed the present FIR with mala-fide intentions.
So, the present FIR lodged by the complainant be quashed.
Learned counsel for the petitioners has placed reliance
on the judgment of Apex Court in case of Mohammed Ibrahim
(3 of 4) [CRLMP-1719/2022]
and Others Vs. State OF Bihar and Another reported in
(2009) 8 SCC 751.
Learned Public Prosecutor as well as learned counsel for
the complainant have opposed the arguments advanced by
learned counsel for the petitioners and submitted that after
investigation, Investigating Officer has found proved the offence
under Sections 420, 406 and 120-B IPC against the petitioners.
Learned counsel for the respondents further submitted that
intentions of the petitioners were mala-fide and they had executed
a sale agreement on 28.10.2013 in favour of the Manisha who is
daughter of the complainant. At that time, petitioner-Smt. Vijay
Laxmi had no Power of Attorney to execute the sale agreement in
favour of her. Learned counsel for the respondents further
submitted that Smt. Gulab Devi had executed a Power of Attorney
on 06.12.2013 in favour of the petitioner-Smt. Vijay Laxmi. After
that, petitioner-Smt. Vijay Laxmi executed another sale
agreement in favour of Manisha on 15.03.2014 and subsequently
she sold the disputed plot to Saroj Kanwar on 26.08.2015. So,
intentions of the petitioners are mala-fide and they have
committed offence of cheating and fraud with the complainant and
his daughter-Manisha. So, petitions filed by the petitioners be
dismissed.
I have considered the arguments advanced by learned
counsel for the petitioners, learned Public Prosecutor as well as
learned counsel for the complainant.
It is an admitted position that when petitioner-Smt.Vijay
Laxmi executed the sale agreement with Manisha on 28.10.2013,
she had no authority to execute the same at that time. She had
(4 of 4) [CRLMP-1719/2022]
got the Power of Attorney from Smt. Gulab Devi on 06.12.2013.
After that, accused petitioner Smt. Vijay Laxmi executed another
agreement for sale in favour of Manisha on 15.03.2014. After that,
intead of executing the sale deed in favour of Manisha, accused
petitioner Smt. Vijay Laxmi executed the sale deed in favour of
Saroj Kanwar on 26.08.2015. So, in my considered opinion,
petitioners committed offence of cheating and fraud with the
complainant as well as his daughter Manisha. So, these present
petitions filed by the petitioners being devoid of merits, are liable
to be dismissed.
Hence, these Criminal Miscellaneous Petitions stand
dismissed.
Stay applications also stand disposed of.
