1/4
3.The intervenor's counsel would contend that the property belonging to a Temple coming under the HR&CE Department was projected as the personal property of Tamil Ganesan and a sum of Rs.10,00,000/- was received as advance. When the true character of the land became known, the intervenor wanted the money back. Tamil Ganesan is declined to return the money. It appears that one Ramakrishnan acted as intermediary. In this regard, the intervenor lodged a complaint before the Central Crime Branch, Madurai City.
4.The specific allegation of the intervenor is that he has been cheated by Tamil Ganesan herein. In this regard, the respondents 2 and 3 have summoned the petitioner for enquiry. This cannot be construed as an act of harassment. 5.The learned Government Advocate (Crl.side) submitted that when summons were issued calling upon the petitioner to attend enquiry, this criminal original petition has been filed. 6.Considering the nature of allegations made in this petition, beyond directing the third respondent to act in accordance with law, I am not inclined to grant relief. With this direction, this criminal original petition stands dismissed. Sd/- Assistant Registrar (P&A) // True Copy // / /2020 Sub Assistant Registrar(CS ) To
