SUBJECT: COMPLAINT SEEKING INVESTIGATION INTO THE
FRAUDULENT MISUSE OF CHEQUES AND IDENTIFICATION OF
THE REAL ACCUSED PERSONS INVOLVED IN CRM-M-27027-2016
AND CRM-M-1112-2017.
Respected Sir/Madam,
1. The complainant, a law-abiding citizen and a respected businessman,
engaged in various legitimate business transactions with M/s Aakar India
Developers Pvt. Ltd. as part of his professional commitments. During the
course of one such transaction, the complainant, acting in good faith and
with the intention of fulfilling his obligations, issued a cheque bearing
No. 161702 dated 15.04.2014 for an amount of ₹14,00,000. This cheque
was entrusted to M/s Aakar India Developers Pvt. Ltd. with the
expectation that it would be used solely for the intended purpose within
the agreed-upon terms of their business arrangement.
2. However, contrary to the complainant’s trust and expectations, the
respondent companies, including M/s Aakar India Developers Pvt. Ltd.
and M/s Bhatana Alloys Pvt. Ltd., have fraudulently misused this cheque
without the complainant’s consent or authorization. The complainant was
subsequently made the subject of false and malicious legal complaints
under Sections 138, 141, and 142 of the Negotiable Instruments Act,
1881, causing him immense harm and harassment.
3. This fraudulent misuse of the cheque not only disregards the
complainant’s rights and goodwill but also amounts to a deliberate
attempt to defraud and implicate him in legal proceedings for reasons
beyond his control. The complainant’s reputation, both personal and
professional, has been severely tarnished, and he has suffered mental
agony, financial strain, and significant disruption to his life due to the
baseless allegations and legal battles initiated by the respondents.
4. The complainant had no directorial or managerial control over M/s Aakar
India Developers Pvt. Ltd. after his formal resignation on 25.06.2012, a
fact that is substantiated by official documentation, including Form-32,
submitted as Annexure P-2. This resignation was duly filed and recorded
with the Registrar of Companies, relieving the complainant of any
obligations or responsibilities related to the management, operations, or
financial transactions of the said company. Despite this, the
complainant’s name has been unjustly implicated in legal proceedings
concerning activities that occurred long after his resignation.
5. The cheque in question was issued by the complainant in connection with
a bona fide business transaction based on mutual trust and professional
commitments. It was handed over to M/s Aakar India Developers Pvt.
Ltd. with the understanding that it would be used strictly for the specified
purpose agreed upon by the parties. However, contrary to this
understanding, the respondents, including M/s Aakar India Developers
Pvt. Ltd. and M/s Bhatana Alloys Pvt. Ltd., misappropriated and misused
the cheque for purposes that were neither authorized nor known to the
complainant. This act of fraudulent misuse demonstrates a clear breach of
trust and malicious intent on the part of the respondents.
6. When the cheque was presented for encashment, it was dishonored by the
bank with the remarks “account closed.” This dishonor was solely
attributable to the unauthorized and improper handling of the cheque by
the respondents. Instead of addressing the matter ethically and
professionally, the respondents filed a private complaint against the
complainant under Sections 138, 141, and 142 of the Negotiable
Instruments Act, 1881, before the Judicial Magistrate I Class,
Chandigarh. This complaint was filed with the deliberate intention to
harass the complainant and tarnish his reputation, despite his clear
disassociation from the company at the time of the alleged offense.
7. The respondent companies, particularly M/s Bhatana Alloys Pvt. Ltd.,
have falsely implicated the petitioner in the complaints related to the
dishonored cheque. Ltd., was responsible for the financial transaction in
question. However, these allegations are baseless and made with mala
fide intent. The petitioner had formally resigned from his position in M/s
Aakar India Developers Pvt. Ltd. before the date of the transaction in
question. His resignation had been duly communicated and recorded in
compliance with the applicable legal requirements. Therefore, at the time
of the issuance and dishonor of the cheque, the petitioner had no
association, involvement, or control over the company’s financial affairs.
Despite this, the respondents have deliberately and wrongfully dragged
the petitioner into the legal proceedings to harass and malign him.
8. The dishonored cheque, forming the basis of the complaint, was
presented with clear malicious intent. The respondents have willfully
ignored the fact that the petitioner had no authority, control, or financial
responsibility over M/s Aakar India Developers Pvt. Ltd. at the relevant
time. The cheque in question was allegedly issued after the petitioner had
resigned, thereby making it evident that he could not have been
responsible for the transaction. The respondents’ deliberate act of
presenting the cheque and instituting legal proceedings against the
petitioner reflects an ulterior motive to coerce and intimidate him by
misusing the legal process. Such an action amounts to an abuse of the
judicial process and is liable to be quashed.
9. The respondents initially filed their complaint before the New Delhi
Court, which subsequently returned the complaint due to lack of
jurisdiction. Instead of adhering to due process, the respondents refiled
the complaint before the Chandigarh Court without seeking condonation
of the delay. The Hon’ble Supreme Court, in the landmark judgment of
Dashrath Rupsingh Rathod v. State of Maharashtra , has clearly
stipulated that in cases of jurisdictional transfers or refiling, the
complainants must ensure procedural compliance, including the seeking
of condonation for any delay. The respondents’ failure to obtain such
condonation renders their complaint procedurally defective and legally
unsustainable. The deliberate bypassing of essential legal formalities
underscores the respondents’ lack of diligence and their intent to harass
the petitioner.
10.The petitioner was wrongfully declared a proclaimed person in violation
of established legal procedures and fundamental rights. The process of
declaring an individual as a proclaimed offender entails strict adherence
to procedural safeguards, including the proper service of notices and
affording the accused an opportunity to respond. In the present case, the
respondents failed to ensure due service of notices to the petitioner before
securing the proclamation order. This omission constitutes a flagrant
violation of the petitioner’s rights and the principles of natural justice.
The law mandates that such declarations must be made only in
exceptional circumstances where the accused deliberately evades the
judicial process. In the absence of such circumstances, the issuance of a
proclamation order against the petitioner is not only unwarranted but also
illegal and void. Therefore, the proclamation order must be quashed, and
necessary legal action should be taken against the respondents for
misusing the legal process. The copy of all incidental documents are
annexed and marked to as “Annexure A colly”.
An investigation is needed to establish the actual facts and circumstances
of the case. It helps in collecting admissible and relevant evidence to
support or refute allegations. Through investigation, the individuals or
entities responsible for any wrongdoing can be identified. It ensures that
all legal requirements are met and due process is followed. Investigation
prevents tampering or destruction of crucial evidence. It provides a strong
foundation for prosecution or defense in a court of law. If financial fraud
is involved, an investigation helps quantify the losses. In cases with
broader social implications, it ensures justice and protects public interest.
It assists law enforcement agencies in taking appropriate action. A
thorough investigation strengthens the judicial process by ensuring
transparency and reliability in legal proceedings. Kindly registered an
FIR under section Section 316, Section 309, Section 61, Section 303 of
BNS, 2023.
