In the FIR, it is alleged that the informant had a piece of land at Adityapur and development agreement was entered by the informant along with the petitioner for construction of multi storied flat and subsequently another revised development agreement was prepared between the parties on 15.07.2013 and according to the said revised development agreement the developer has to handover the share of the flat to the informant latest by April, 2015 and in default thereto, the builder was liable to pay fine of Rs.5,500/- per month per flat as a compensation. The allegation is also made that 40% of the total developed area was to be given to the informant and accordingly two flats bearing on second floor and one flat on third floor was required to be handed over to the informant. The allegations are made that those flats were not given to the informant rather the petitioner has sold the aforesaid flats to other persons without taking prior permission of the land owner, who is the informant and in view of that allegations are there of selling the flat of the informant to another person which clearly suggests that intention to cheat from the very beginning were there.
