JUDGEMENT
-
(1.) The petitioner, Chandrabhanu, is aggrieved by
the order dated 18.07.2011 passed by Sessions Judge, Pali,
whereby the learned Judge has rejected the application filed
by the appellant under Section 195 Cr.P.C.
(2.) The brief facts of the case are that the appellant,
Chandrabhanu, and the respondent No.2, Rajesh Singhal,
were friends. Rajesh Singhal decided to sell off a house to
the appellant that belonged to him. He informed the
appellant that the house is not subjected to any mortgage
with any bank or any financial institution. Despite the fact
that Chandrabhanu had paid part of the consideration
amount to Rajesh Singhal, the final sale-deed was never
registered by him. Subsequently, Chandrabhanu learnt that
in fact the house was mortgaged to a particular bank.
When he tried to contact Rajesh Singhal, Rajesh Singhal
would not respond to his pleas. Therefore, Chandrabhanu
lodged a criminal case against Rajesh Singhal. However,
after a thorough investigation, the police filed a negative
Final Report. Consequently, Chandrabhanu submitted a
protest petition before the learned trial court.
(3.) While the protest petition was under
consideration, the police sought the permission of the Court
for further investigating the case. Subsequently, the police
submitted a chargesheet under Section 299 Cr.P.C. for
offence under Section 420 IPC against Rajesh Singhal. Vide
order dated 24.08.2009, the learned trial Court, not only
took cognizance against Rajesh Singhal for offence under
Section 420 IPC, but also directed that proceedings under
Section 82 and 83 of Cr.P.C. should commence against him.
Respondent No.2 challenged the order dated 24.08.2009
before the learned Judge. Vide order dated 25.06.2011,
while permitting the complainant to be impleaded as a
party, after hearing both the Public Prosecutor and the
complainant, the learned Judge dismissed the revision
petition filed by Rajesh Singhal and upheld the cognizance
order dated 24.08.2009.;
