3. It is the contention of the petitioner that they were engaged in the business of buying and selling gold for the past three years. The second Respondent / defacto complainant had purchased gold from them legally and amount has been given therefor. However, they are ready to deposit the disputed amount of Rs.5,00,000/- in the respective Crime Number.

¶29

4. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the first respondent and the newly impleaded second respondent who appeared as party in person.

¶30

5. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is of the view that as the defacto complainant has already given an undertaking before the trial Court that he would return the above amount as an when orders were passed by the trial Court, there is no point for depositing the amount in Crime number. Once again the defecto complainant who is present before this Court has given an undertaking that he would deposit the amount as and when the trial Court directs him. Hence, this Court does not find any reason to interfere with the orders passed by the learned XI Metropolitan Magistrate, Saidapet, Chennai.
