Harinder Sharma v. State Of West Bengal & ORS

18.11.2022 Item No.

BR CRR 4505 of 2008 In the matter of : Harinder Sharma Mr. Milon Mukherjee, Senior advocate, Mr. S. Sarkar ...... for the Petitioner This application is filed for quashment of proceeding being GR case No. 1263 of 2008 pending before the learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Asansol which arose out of Hirspur P.S. Case No. 167 of 2008 under Sections 420/120 B of the Indian Penal Code against Harinder Sharma who is petitioner before this Court.

Briefly stated agreement was entered into by and between the Harendra Sharma and the petitioners pursuant to which a job of fabrication was given to the complainant on certain terms and conditions. A sum of Rs. 5,00,000/- was given by cheque. After completion of work bill amounting of Rs. 18,75,000/- was raised, but not paid by the accused person Harinder Sharma. The accused person disputed such claim by producing some manufactured documents like challan, bills etc. and started putting pressure upon the complainant to deliver the goods, even they engaged miscreants and got some papers signed with a view to convert the papers as valuable securities. According to the complainant he was induced by the accused persons to do the fabrication job for them and he flamed off a sum of Rs. 18,75,000/- . Had there been no such inducement he would not have invested such a hefty sum. This application under consideration was preferred at the stage of investigation , I do not find

any reason to throttle the complainant at a premature stage'. Let police complete the investigation and come to a finding based on materials that can be collected during investigagtion. However, petitioner shall have the right to challenge the proceeding at any stage thereafter.

The revisional application , in my view ,merits no consideration and is dismissed. Interim stay, if any stand vacated. Application, if any, stand disposed of. Let a copy of the order be sent down to the learned trial Court for information and necessary action. Application if any stands disposed of.

All parties are to act on the server copy of this order duly downloaded.

Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be given to the learned Advocates for the parties on the usual undertakings.
