PER COURT :-

¶11

Heard.

¶12

Learned counsel for the applicants submits that the informant himself is the founder director of Swarajya GRB Industries Pvt. Ltd. To support her submission she has placed reliance on brochure which shows present informant who is a founder director. It is her further submission that this is a case where infact the applicant is investor and is a victim of the crime. Admittedly, as per the first information report Rs.30 lakhs was deposited out of which Rs.20 lakhs was already repaid to the informant and a cheque of Rs.18 lakhs was issued. The said cheque was never presented for realization and as such it cannot be said that any offence is committed.

¶15

Learned counsel for the informant opposed grant of adinterim relief on the ground that not only the informant but about 29 more persons are cheated by the applicants and total amount of misappropriation is more than Rs.3 crore. Since, this is ad-interim stage, this Court has called upon learned counsel for the informant to point out from the first information report as to whether he has lodged complaint to the police in respect of his own grievance on behalf all other investors. After going through the first information report he was unable to show that any grievance has been made with regard to the other investors.

¶16

In the light of the afore stated facts when the informant is an Advocate and that he has not presented the cheque of Rs.18 lakhs for realization, this Court finds substance in the contention of the learned counsel for the applicants that this is a case of grant of ad-interim relief. Hence, the order.
