The Prosecution case is that the petitioner, with the intention to cheat the de facto complainant, obtained landed property from him and his wife on 03.08.2023, for a consideration of Rs.35 lakhs, and that the consideration amount was not paid as promised. Though mediation was attempted, the matter could not be settled.
