No.13791 of 2020(3) dt.02-06-2020 2/3 Prasad had taken photo copy of land document and used the same along with Rekha Sinha for the sale of his land to the informant and other persons. On such information received from the Ram Nandan Prasad, the present F.I.R. has been lodged. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case inasmuch the petitioner is neither a party to the agreement for sale or to the sale deed. Learned counsel further submits that his name has transpired on the basis of phone call made by Ram Nandan Prasad that the petitioner has taken the photo copy of the land document of Ram Nandan Prasad and sold some of the lands through a fake person namely, Rekha Sinha.
