execute the same as the agreed land does not belong to them. It is also alleged that this petitioner is taken Rs. 60,000/-.

¶21

At the outset, learned counsel for the petitioner submits at the bar, on the instruction of his client, that as per his information till date the process under Sections 82/83 of the Cr.P.C. have not been issued.

¶22

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that from the averments and the materials brought on record, it is evident that this petitioner neither executed an agreement to sale nor he received any amount and moreover the cheque, which is said to have bounced, was issued by coaccused Dharmendra Kumar. In support of his contention a supplementary affidavit has been filed bringing on record the agreement to sale and acknowledgment of receipt of money given by co-accused Dharmendra Kumar. It is further submitted that during the course of investigation, the petitioner has given benefit of Section 41-A of Cr. P. C. However, later on, the Police has filed charge-sheet against all the three co-accused including this petitioner. It is also submitted that since the half of the portion of land, in question, belongs to this petitioner, therefore, he has been made accused only in order to pressurize the petitioner. Further, this petitioner has no criminal antecedent.
