Hon ’ble Alok Mah r a, J.
Mr. Amar Murti Shukla along with Ms. Gyanmati Kushwaha,
learned counsel for the applicant.
2. Mr. Rakesh Joshi, learned A.G.A. along with Mr. Manoj Bhatt, learned Brief Holder for the State.
3. Mr. Sanjay Kumar, learned counsel for private respondents.
4. The present application under Section 482 Cr.P.C. has been filed seeking modification/alteration of the summoning
order dated 14.03.2024 passed by the learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Kashipur in Criminal Case No. 347 of 2024, arising out of an application under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C., which was treated as a complaint case. It has been prayed that, apart from Sections 420 and 506 I.P.C., cognizance/summoning ought also to have been taken under Sections 120-B, 406, 467 and 468 I.P.C., in view of the allegations and material available on record.
5.
Learned counsel for the applicant would submit that the applicant had initially moved an application under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C. alleging therein that the private respondents had committed cheating and forgery by
2026:UHC:3509 misrepresenting themselves to be owners of certain land and fraudulently executing transactions in respect thereof, thereby causing wrongful loss to the applicant to the tune of ₹42 lakhs. It is submitted that the said application was treated as a complaint case and thereafter statements under Sections 200 and 202 Cr.P.C. were recorded along with documentary evidence. However, despite the material available on record, the learned Magistrate vide summoning
order dated 14.03.2024 summoned the accused persons only for the offences punishable under Sections 420 and 506 I.P.C. It is contended that the offences under Sections 120-B, 406, 467 and 468 I.P.C. are also clearly made out and, therefore, the impugned summoning
order deserves to be modified/altered accordingly.
6.
Learned counsel for the applicant further submits that during pendency of the present proceedings, the applicant and private respondent nos. 2, 4, 5 and 6 have amicably resolved their dispute and a compromise deed has been executed between them.
