issued by proposed Accused No.12, R. R. Builders. It is not clarified in
the complaint what compelled applicant to pay the amount through
proposed Accused No.13. Further, the details pertaining to transfer of
amounts between complainant and proposed Accused No.13, and
proposed Accused No.13 and proposed Accused No.1, company, neither
pleaded in detail nor any evidence produced.
6. These details are necessary. In absence of such details its very
difficult to draw any inference of commission of offence. Therefore, I am
of the opinion that before proceeding further with any serious action some
additional preliminary inquiry is necessary.
7. The prayer sought is having serious consequences. In the above
discussed facts and circumstances I am of the opinion that rather than
allowing prayer for making further inquiry the recording of verification
statement by allowing additional documentary or any other evidence will
serve the purpose. If any need of additional evidence is felt, it can be
collected by ordering investigation under Section 202 of Code of
Criminal Procedure. Therefore, following order :
ORDER
a. The prayer for issuance of direction under Section 156(3) of Code
of Criminal Procedure, is rejected.
b. Matter is kept for verification of the complainant.
