demanding exorbitant amounts and trying to interfere with the construction, which was being carried on by the petitioners through another contractor. According to the petitioners they have prepared an estimate of the total work done by the 2nd respondent through an expert and upon such estimation it was revealed that the total cost of construction carried out by the 2nd respondent is only Rs.88 Lakhs, whereas he has already received Rs.96 Lakhs from the petitioners. Even though Annexure II complaint which was submitted on 23.07.2015 as evidenced by the receipt produced along with the said document, no action was taken by the Police thereon. Thereafter, on 10.03.2016 a complaint was submitted by the 2nd respondent before the Police alleging the offences mentioned above and acting upon the same Annexure III FIR was registered by the Police. The learned counsel for the petitioners points out that the submission of complaint, registration of Annexure III FIR and all further proceedings pursuant thereto are clearly abuse of process of law. At the most it is a civil dispute which has to be adjudicated before a competent court and under no circumstances, any culpability can be attributed to the petitioners. In such circumstances, the above Crl.M.C. was filed.
