The allegations against the petitioner are that the petitioner/accused No.2, representing himself to be working in M.R.O. office, approached the de-facto complainant, offering to allot patta in a Government land in Survey No.29/B, Shamshabad village, and he along with accused No.1 collected huge amounts from the victims. 4.

Learned counsel for the petitioner further submits that the incident occurred in the year 2014 and the complaint is lodged in the year 2016. 5.
