RAMESH SINHA,J. -
(1.) HEARD Sri Manish Tiwary, learned counsel for the applicant, Sri Anil Kumar
Singh, learned counsel for the opposite party no.2.
By means of the present 482 application, the applicant has prayed for
quashing the order dated 2.11.2012 passed in Case No.107 of 2012, Case
Crime NO.285 of 2012, u/s 419, 420, 467, 468, 471, 506 IPC, P.S. Aurai,
distsrict Sant Ravidas Nagar/Bhadohi and to direct the A.C.J.M., Bhadohi
Gyanpur to direct the I.O. to have the specimen signatures of the first
informant taken in Court and sent the same for analysis with the dispute
signatures.
(2.) THE brief facts are that on 21.8.2012, the informant came to know that the applicant along with other co-accused persons had executed a sale-deed with
respect to the plot no.314, 323, 317, 31Rs.8, 319, 320, 322, 315 and 316 Ka
situated at Mauja Kathaura, P.S. Aurai, district Sant Ravi Das Nagar in his
village and he went to the Tehsil Aurai and obtained a copy of Khatauni from
his counsel and he came to know that on 15.6.2012, in a mutation
proceedings, bearing case no.542 of 2012, the name of the applicant Deepak
Singh has been mutated on the basis of forged and fictitious documents in the
place of the informant namely Ashok Kumar Barnwal, opposite party no.2.
Theinformant/opposite party no.2 thereafter filed restoration application
against the order dated 15.6.2012 before the concerned authority and also
obtained a certified copy of the sale deed from the Sub-Registrar Office which
is said to have been executed on 5.5.2012 by the informant in favour of the
applicant. The value of the property in question was to the tune of
Rs.1,30,00,000/-. The informant did not know about the execution of the sale
deed prior to 21.8.2012 and he apprehended that under some conspiracy, the
applicant along with co-accused persons in order to grab his property with the
help of officers/employees of the Sub-Registrar of the office, the alleged sale-
deed dated 5.5.2012 has been fabricated by the accused persons by the
purchaser along with the witnesses and the execution of the same has been
made by producing an imposter. The informant stated that he has neither put
his signatures nor he put his thumb impression on the sale-deed nor he
executed the same and the informant was further threatened on several
occasion and also apprehended danger to his family.
It is contended by the learned counsel for the applicant that the FIR of the incident was lodged by the informant on 21.8.2012, though he came to know
to knowledge about execution of the sale-deed on 21.8.2012 and there is no
explanation for the delay given by the informant as to why no FIR was lodged
against the applicant and other accused persons for the last 10 days after
coming to know about the execution of the sale-deed in question on
21.8.2012.
(3.) IT is further contended that the applicant has invested the huge amount to the tune of Rs.1,30,00,000/- in lieu of the property in dispute and also paid
Rs.6,30,000/- as stamp duty being a bonafide purchaser of the agricultural
land from the informant. The applicant neither manipulated anything nor
obtained the land on the basis of forged and fictitious documents nor created
any imposter in order to grab the land in dispute nor he is a land mafia. It is
further submitted that during investigation, the I.O has not sent the actual
signatures of the informant/opposite party no.2 Ashok Kumar and has sent the
left thumb impression of some other persons in order to create false evidence
against the applicant. He pointed out that the said thumb impression was not
produced before any court nor any procedure has been followed up for taking
thumb impression as has been provided under the law. Hence the applicant
had moved an application on 8.10.2012 u/s 311 A Cr.P.C before the
Magistrate with a prayer that the informant/opposite party no.2 be summoned
in the court and his thumb impression and finger prints and signatures may be
obtained before the Court and sent for it's examination to the authorised
concerned handwriting expert/Vidhi Vigyan Prayogshala, which may be
compared with the signatures and thumb impressions and finger print on the
disputed document. Learned Magistrate rejected the said application of the
applicant by passing the impugned order dated 2.11.2012 by misinterpreting
and misreading the proviso of Section 311-A Cr.P.C. and made it applicable
to complainant which is applicable to an accused, hence the same may be set-
aside by this Court.;
