5 At the outset, Mr.N.Manokaran, learned counsel for Dharamchand (A.3) submitted that pursuant to the order passed by the earlier Division Bench in Crl.M.P.No.4646 of 2017 in Crl.A.No.367 of 2017, Sankaralingam, Assistant Commissioner of Police and Mohandass, Inspector of Police, D-1 Police Station, Triplicane, should be examined as additional witnesses in order to mark the materials that were collected by them during further investigation of the case. It is his further contention that in the evidence of Premchand (P.W.4), he has stated that he had purchased the Mandaveli market from Janakaiya Chettiyar on payment of Rs.50,00,000/- in June 1995 and that he had entered into an oral agreement with Dharamchand (A.3) to sell the property for a higher amount, out of which, Dharamchand (A.3) had paid only Rs.52,00,000/- and the balance of Rs.1,19,00,000/remains to be paid and in order to avoid this payment, Dharamchand (A.3) had set upon the goons to liquidate him. Whereas, according to Mr.N.Manokaran, a further investigation was conducted by one Sankaralingam, then Inspector of Police (now Assistant Commissioner of Police), in which, a report dated 19.12.2006 was addressed by him to the District Collector, which shows that the Mandaveli market transaction is not as was projected by Premchand (P.W.4).
