According to the petitioner, the petitioner has not signed any documents and has not submitted any document much less forged document for getting the loan in the name of M/s.Pushpha Rex Medical Stores, KKR Medicals and M/s.Sakthi Distributors and it is the other accused who have played active role and submitted the documents with the Bank and availed loan of Rs.14 Lakhs. Therefore, the petitioner has filed the present quash petition.
3.Mr.Leonard Arul Joseph Selvam, learned Additional Public Prosecutor who takes notice for the respondent submitted that the petitioner along with A-1 and A-3, as partners have approached the public sector bank and obtained loan and that the loan has become NPA and thereafter, on verification of the documents, it was found that the petitioner along with the other accused had submitted forged documents for taking the loan. On a complaint by the bank, a case has been registered and after completion of the investigation, the charge sheet has been filed listing out 11 witnesses. Since A-1 and A-3 were absconding, the case has been split up and now, the case against A-2 is proceeding.
