Both the petitioners herein are accused in C.C.No.82 of 2008 on the file of the Additional Judicial First Class Magistrate, Bhongir (Trial Court). They filed this Criminal Petition for quashing the aforesaid criminal case. The offence alleged against them is the one punishable under Section 420 IPC. The substance of the case against the petitioners-accused is that the complainant-party purchased the share of one Kundan Singh in the lands originally belonging to Kundan Singh, Heera Singh and Chandar Singh and that the second petitioner also attested the sale deed to guarantee the title and the boundaries. The further grievance of the complainant-party is that the second petitioner i.e. T.Man Mohan Singh subsequently executed a General Power of Attorney (GPA) some time in 2005 (date not mentioned) authorizing the first petitioner not only to sell his land but also the lands purchased by them and, consequently, the first petitioner, along with the other lands, sold away their lands also. The concerned police investigated into the matter and, ultimately, laid charge sheet against the petitioners for the offence punishable under Section 420 IPC. The allegations in the charge sheet also show that both the petitioners have even created false documents to show that they sold away the property belonging to the complainant-party though it does not belong to them. However whether this plea of the petitioner is true or not is a question to be decided by the Trial
