¶23

¶24

¶27

CJM, Kaimur at Bhabun was pleased to take cognizance in the case.

¶28

Though, there is complete denial on the part of the petitioner on accepting Rs. 15 lacs through fraudulent act, the agreement shown by the informant who is appearing clearly proves otherwise as in the year 2019 itself he submitted his signature and acknowledged acceptance of Rs. 15 lacs as also assurance of repayment. This followed a notice to him by a lawyer and there is nothing on record to show that the petitioner anywhere submitted a petition regarding the documents produced by the informant to be forged and fabricated using his forged signature.

¶29

This Court is not on the point of payment/repayment/return of the amount, the complaint is of the year 2017 and six years later, the petitioner chose to walk into judicial custody.

¶30

In that background alone, this Court is not inclined to extend him relief which is accordingly rejected for the present.
