GROUNDS
10. It is respectfully submitted that the above First Information Report does not
even prima face make out a cognizable offence even if the entire contents of
First Information Report are taken as gospel truth.
11. It is respectfully submitted that the very fact that the entire transaction
alleged in the said written information dates back to years 1998-2003,
neither G Munivenkatappa, during his lifetime, nor anyone under him,
including the second respondent herein have ever initiated any proceedings
calling in question any of the said transactions taken place in the name of
their father on the basis of power of attorney executed in favour of the
petitioner before any forum. The very fact that the second respondent has
chosen to lodge written information after lapse of nearly 20 years from the
date of transactions, would indicate that the said contents of the written
information are fictitious and frivolous and with malafide intention, the
same is initiated.
9
12. It is respectfully submitted that the second respondent has not even offered
any explanation whatsoever in the First Information Report as to the
inordinate delay of almost 20 years in lodging the said FIR. Even if the
allegations in the First Information Report were to be accepted as the
uncontroverted evidence in the matter, the same do not bring home any
offences punishable under Sections 420, 471, 468, 465, 467,506 and 34 of
Indian Penal Code & Section 3(1)(f)(g) of the Schedule Caste & Schedule
Tribe (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, as the said documents executed in
relation to the transactions which have been taken place 20 years, have
never been challenged even though all the documents were available to the
second respondent for his reference and necessary action as all the
documents were registered documents.
14. It is further submitted that the second respondent has also not specifically
alleged or pointed out forgery of a particular document. In the absence of a
specific allegation of forgery in respect of a document, the registration of
First Information Report on vague and gross allegation is unjustified.
15. It is respectfully submitted that there was no occasion or reason for the
second respondent or any one not to seek recourse under law to call in
question any of the transactions before any of the Courts for 20 years
despite of having knowledge of all transactions which is evident from the
contents of the first information report above.
16. It is unambiguously clear from the first information report that itself is
being guided by alleged media, interview of the Commissioner of Police
and Addl. Commissioner of Police on 06/12/2018 and the second
10
respondent has chosen to lodge this false information and make wrongful
gain for himself using the opportunity.
17. It is respectfully submitted that even after second respondent were to claim
any right or interest in the properties which are transacted allegedly by the
first petitioner, the same is civil dispute between the petitioners and the
second respondent and that cannot be given colour of criminal case as is
done in the instant case.
18. It is further submitted that the allegations in First Information Report are
very vague and not specific even Section 3(1)(f)(g) of the Schedule Caste &
Schedule Tribe (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, does not get attracted.
21. The petitioners seek kind leave of this Hon’ble Court to raise additional
grounds, if any, in the course of hearing of the above matter.
