JUDGEMENT
-
(1.) This writ application is directed against the order dated
1.8.2009 passed by 1st Additional Sessions Judge, Bokaro in
Cr. Rev. No.85 of 2008 whereby learned Additional Sessions Judge
1st Bokaro after holding that sufficient material is there to
constitute offences under Sections 419, 467, 468, 471, 472, 420,
504 read with Section 120B of the Indian Penal Code against the
accused persons set aside the order dated 16.6.2008 whereunder
complaint case no.293 of 2008 had been dismissed by the Chief
Judicial Magistrate, Bokaro. Consequently the Additional Sessions
Judge remanded the matter for further enquiry.
(2.) Before adverting to the submissions advanced on behalf of
the parties, the case as has been made out in the complaint
petition needs to be recorded which are as follows:
A Plot No.371, measuring an area of 89 acres 40 decimals,
appertaining to Khata no.22 situated at village- Giridhartand, P.S.
Pindrajora, District-Bokaro was subjected to partition among the
five co-sharers by virtue of a decree of the court under which one
of the co-sharers Yogeshwar Ojha came in possession of the land
measuring 16 acres 67 decimals.
In course of time, Yageshwar Ojha sold the said land
measuring 13 acres tone Gopi Nath Jha grand-father of the
complainant Dhrup Lal Ojha whose name was recorded in the
revenue records and the rent was being paid to the State. After
the death of Gopi Nath Ojha, his descendants came in possession
over the land, bearing plot no.371, measuring 13 acre.
Further case is that on 11.5.2008 the accused Amit Kumar
came along with accused Avijit Ghose (petitioner), who happens to
be a General Manager, M/s. Jindal Steel & Power Limited and told
to the complainant that entire land measuring 89 acre 40 decimal
has been sold to M/s. Jindal Steel & Power Limited by the accused
no.2 Amar Nath Jha through the holder of his power of Attorney
Amit Kumar, accused no.3 and as such accused no.3 Amit Kumar
and this petitioner (accused no.4) directed the complainant to
vacate the land and held out a threat of dire consequence if he
does not vacate the land.
(3.) Thereupon the complainant obtained certified copy of the
sale deed under which 89 acre 40 decimal of land had been
transferred by Amar Nath Jha by impersonating himself as Manoj
Jha through the holder of the power of Attorney Amit Kumar for a
consideration of Rs.1,22,36,400/- on the basis of the rent receipts
and land possession certificate, though neither the land possession
certificate nor the rent receipts had been issued in favour of Manoj
Jha. It has been alleged that accused no.2 Amar Nath Jha by
impersonating himself as Manoj Jha by forging documents in
connivance with other accused including the petitioner sold the
property, though he had no title over the property and as such,
committed offence under Sections 419, 467, 468, 471, 472, 420,
504 and 120B of the Indian Penal Code.
On filing the said complaint, it was registered as C.P. case
no.293 of 2008 which was dismissed by the Chief Judicial
Magistrate, Bokaro on 16.6.2008 holding therein that none of the
offence as alleged in the complaint is made out. However, that
order was challenged by the complainant before the revisional
court which was registered as Cr. Rev.No.85 of 2008. The said case
was allowed by 1st Additional Sessions Judge, Bokaro after holding
that sufficient material is there to constitute offence under Sections
419, 420, 467, 468, 471, 472, 504 and 120B of the Indian Penal
Code and the matter was remanded back to the court of Chief
Judicial Magistrate, Bokaro for further enquiry.
Being aggrieved with that order, this application has been
filed.;
