Section 392 of IPC. He further submitted that on 07.10.2017, at about 04.00 a.m., three persons came in a motorcycle and snatched a mobile phone from the defacto complainant. After registering the case, during the investigation, it was found that the said mobile phone was sold to the petitioners and the said mobile phone has also been recovered. He further submitted that the petitioners have stated that they have purchased the said mobile phone from the unidentified person and hence, for securing the real culprits, the petitioners have to be enquired and for that purpose they should appear before the second respondent. 4.Considering the submissions made by both sides, the petitioners are directed to appear before the second respondent for the purpose of enquiry and they should co-operate for investigation.
