‘The accused had represented to the complainant that the Government have sanctioned a quarry lease to him in land in Sy.No.348 measuring Ac.2.20 guntas situate at Balwanthapur village of Karimnagar District and that he intends to sub lease the same to the complainant. On that the complainant having agreed for the same and believing that the accused is having such a quarry lease in his favour had settled the terms and a sub lease agreement dated 30.04.2011 was executed in favour of the complainant by the accused on receipt of Rs.6,00,000/from the complainant as an advance amount. Thereafter, the complainant having started quarry development had invested Rs.3,80,000/-. In spite of repeated demands by the complainant, the accused had failed to produce his lease agreement, if any, granted by the Mining Department. Having agreed to produce either the lease deed within one month or to pay Rs.9,80,000/- to the complainant, the accused had also executed an agreement dated 13.06.2011 to that effect at Karimnagar. Ultimately, the accused had issued a cheque for the said amount on Gayatri Bank, Jagityal branch towards discharge of his liability. When the cheque was presented on 06.09.2011 for collection through the complainant’s account in IDBI Bank, Karman Circle, Karimnagar, the said cheque was dishonoured and was returned on 08.09.2011 showing the reason for return as ‘insufficient funds in the account of the accused.’ The accused had cheated the complainant by false representation and had received the amount from the complainant and had issued the cheque without balance in his account.’
