It has been stated in the complaint that the complainant is brother-in-law (Devar) of the accused and had good relations earlier. Accused Charanjit Bhatti, widow of the elder brother of the complainant was also having cordial relations with the accused and they were the members of joint family. The complainant further averred that there was a land in the name of his brother Nachhattar Singh Bhatti, now in the name of Ramandeep Singh Bhatti, wherein a poultry farm has been raised by the complainant after spending a huge amount. He even raised poultry shed and kept about 10,500 birds after raising a loan to the tune of 10 Lakhs from Indian Overseas Bank in his own name. But due to strained relationship between the parties, a family settlement took place whereby the accused took the charge of poultry farm and agreed to give a sum of 20,50,000/-. In lieu to the same, the accused issued cheque bearing No.0008569 dated 7.2.2008 of the above said amount, which on presentation for encashment was returned back with the remarks “insufficient funds”. Legal notice was given. When the amount was not paid, the complaint was filed.
