REASONS

Point
No.1:н
The
complainant
Vikas
Thimmappa has filed private complaint before XXIV Addl.
Crl.Misc.No.6081/2022
4
Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Bengaluru against the
petitioner alleging that, the complainant and petitioner
are well known to each other. About 5 years back with
respect to construct a house, the complainant has talked
with the accused. At that time, the accused has assured
the complainant to get bank loan to construct a house. At
that time the complainant has given election ID card and
a
blank
cheque
Corporation
of
Limited.
Honkong
After
and
receiving
Shangai
the
same
bank
the
petitioner has not got the loan from the bank. When the
petitioner failed to get the loan at that time the
complainant asked the petitioner to return his election ID
card and blank cheque. But the petitioner has told that
he has kept the same in the house and the same were
lost and dodged the time for one or the other reason.
8.
Further the complainant submitted that the
accused has filled the name, date and amount as
Rs.8,00,000/н
and
forged
the
signature
of
the
Crl.Misc.No.6081/2022

complainant and presented the cheque for encashment
and the same was returned as ‘Signature Differs’.
Thereafter the petitioner has filed false complaint against
the complainant under Sec.138 of N.I.Act only with an
intention to gain wrongful profit.
9. Further the complainant claims that petitioner
has misused the said cheque for his personal benefit
without the knowledge of the complainant. Thereafter the
complainant approached the respondent police to register
the case, but they have refused to register the case.
Hence the complainant sent copy of complaint through
RPAD
and
the
same
was
served
on
21.09.2019.
Thereafter the complainant has sent compliant to the
Commissioner
of
Police
through
RPAD.
But
after
receiving the complaint the police have not registered the
FIR against the petitioner and not taken suitable action
against him.

10. The petitioner after coming to know about the
complaint lodged by the complainant, he forced the
complainant to withdraw the same, then abused and
threatened the complainant with dire consequences of his
life. The police are not coming to the rescue of the
complainant and therefore he has filed private complaint.
11. According to the petitioner the complainant has
admitted that the petitioner as filed the complaint under
Sec.138
of
N.I.Act
against
the
complainant
in
C.C.No.2390/2019 before SCCHн2. The matter was
pending
before
the
concerned
for
consideration
accordance with law. He is innocent of the alleged
transaction. He is the only bread earning member of the
family.
12.
Further
the
transaction
between
the
complainant and petitioner is purely civil in nature.
Therefore at this stage it cannot be said the the petitioner
has cheated the complainant. The facts placed by both
Crl.Misc.No.6081/2022

the petitioner and complainant goes to show that the
dispute is evident from the documents. Under such
circumstances there is no necessity for any custodial
investigation of the petitioner. Since the transactions are
born out of the documents there cannot be any chance of
hampering the investigation by the petitioner. The
petitioner claims to be the permanent resident of
Bengaluru and has undertaken to coнoperate with the
investigation and to abide by the conditions that may be
imposed.
with by
Apprehension of the prosecution can be met
imposing conditions. Hence in the facts and
circumstances of the case the court is of the view that the
petitioner is entitled for the relief claimed. Accordingly,
point No.1 answered in the Affirmative.
13. Point No.2:

No.1, I proceed to pass the following:н
