The case of the prosecution is that the father of the petitioner namely G.R.Ramachandran was doing real estate in the name of G.R.Real Estate, collected the amount from the victims by giving and encumbering the subject properties. Subsequently, he died, but no lands were given to victims towards the depositors subsidiaries. In fact, he divided the properties into lay outs in Survey Nos.95/6A, 95/6B, but necessary approval was not obtained. After the death of G.R.Ramachandran, his legal heirs, the petitioner and his brother took charge of the G.R.Real Estate. He was prosecuted at the time of interim bail.

7. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that one civil suit was filed by the sister claiming as a legal heir of G.R.Ramachandran in O.S.No.150 of 2022 in respect of legal heirs claiming legal heir certificate.
