5.
On perusal of FIR as well as case papers, it is apparent
that there was transaction between the informant and son of
applicant dated 22.10.2016 whereby the informant tendered Rs.10
lacs for a period till 22.10.2017, if the amount is not paid, the
applicant was required to enter into saledeed for additional
consideration of Rs.26,48,981/. The FIR further states that son of
applicant informed informant that he is unable to comply with the
terms of the agreement and again assured to enter into saledeed.
The informant further paid amount of Rs.2 lacs by cash. Again
notarized agreement dated 2.11.2017 was entered into between the
complainant and informant and the time span of agreement was
extended. However, subsequently son of applicant denied to enter
into saledeed.
6.
From the bare perusal of the complaint/FIR, it can be
gathered that finance was provided to the son of applicantaccused
on certain terms and conditions, more particularly, to state that he
will return the amount within specific period. The present applicant
..3..
Cri.B.A.No.1022/2022
is signatory to that agreement. Applicant’s son was unable to fulfill
terms and conditions and accordingly, time span was extended.
Whether it is entirely civil transaction, cannot be commented or
concluded at this stage. It is settled principle that police machinery
cannot be utilized for recovery of any amount. The documents i.e.
agreements entered into between informant and the son of
applicant are with the complainant. From the report of the police, it
can be gathered that nothing is to be recovered or discovered at the
instance of the applicant. Considering facts and circumstances of the
case, on certain terms and conditions, the discretion can be
exercised in favour of the applicant. Hence, I proceed to pass
following order :
ORDER
