2. This Court by a detailed Order had already dismissed the Criminal Original Petition in Crl.O.P.No.26368 of 2017 filed on behalf of the co-accused Sakthivelu for quashing the First Information Report.

3. The crux of the allegation is that the de facto complainant under the promise made by one Navaneeth has executed a Power of Attorney for the purpose of Joint Venture. Only such inducement forced the de facto complainant to execute the Power of Attorney. However, since the investigation has already been transferred to Central Crime Branch, whether the transaction has happened due to the inducement and promise made from the inception and whether the offence has been made out or not has to be probed into by the Investigating Agency. With regard to the submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner that he is only acquainted with the said Navaneeth and other than that he is no way connected with any of the transactions, this Court is of the view that FIR need not contain minute details and it is for the investigating agency to find out the perpetrators of the alleged offence. In such view of the matter, at this stage this Court cannot quash the First Information Report.

4. Accordingly, this Criminal Original Petition is dismissed. Consequently, the connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
