In the prosecution case, it is alleged that accused persons built house on government land Gata No.589 which they have sold to the informant fraudulently by misusing the position of Chairman. It is alleged that accused registered land in their name with the help of accused No.1 and built a house and thereafter, sold it to the informant allegedly showing it as under abadi land. After some days, the informant received a notice from Tehsildar, Kaiserganj and subsequently, the house in question was demolished under the proceedings of Section 67 of the U.P. Revenue Code.
Learned counsel for the applicant submits that prior to this F.I.R., informant filed an application earlier under Section 175 (3) BNSS against the applicant and two co-accused persons. On that application, an F.I.R. was registered and a final report was filed. He submits that the allegation made by the informant in the F.I.R. was already in her knowledge prior to 03.08.2022 as
it is the informant who has challenged the recovery order passed by the Tehsildar under Section 67 of U.P. Revenue Code. He submits that offences are triable by magistrate. Applicant also submits that around 300 houses are built upon the aforesaid gata number. After the demolition of the house of the informant only with a view to exert pressure the present F.I.R. has been lodged by her. He submits that the applicant is in jail since
