¶91

ORAL ORDER

¶92

In these petitions, the petitioner is seeking to quash the F.I.Rs registered against him in Crime Nos.110/2023, 113/2023, 112/2023, 114/2023 and 111/2023 by the Banashankari Police Station, Bengaluru pending on the file of the IV Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Bengaluru.

¶93

Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Additional State Public Prosecutor for the respondent No.2-State and perused the material on record.

¶94

A perusal of the material on record will indicate that the petitioner is the Chief Executive Officer / Managing Director of the Suvision Holdings Pvt..Ltd., instituted Original Suit No.919 of 2023 before the City Civil Judge, Bengaluru against M/s. Srishti Infotainment Pvt. Ltd. and others, in which there is an order of Temporary Injunction granted in favour of the petitioner and his Company. Subsequently, the respondent No.2-complainants, who are non other than the employees of the petitioner, have resigned from the company of the petitioner and filed the instant complaints alleging that the petitioner was guilty of offences punishable under Sections 120B, 406, 409, 420 read with Section 34 of the Indian

¶97

Penal Code. In this context, perusal of the averments made in the complaints in the light of earlier civil dispute in Original Suit No.919 of 2023 in respect of the Mobile App called "Financial Feedom App", is sufficient to come to the conclusion that the necessary ingredients constituting offences punishable as against the petitioner are not forthcoming in the complaints; on the other hand, having suffered the grant of Temporary Injunction in Original Suit No.919 of 2023, the defendants 1 and 2 in the said suit appears to have instigated the respondent No.2-complainants who are non other than the ex-employees of the petitioner in filing the instant complaints. Therefore, I am of the considered opinion that the impugned proceedings based on the complaints containing vague and bald allegations without sufficient material would amount to abuse of process of law warranting interference by this Court in the present petitions.

¶98

In the result, I pass the following:
