Learned counsel for the applicants would submit that applicants were in possession of the said property for the last more than 15 years and the applicants were running a P.G. hostel for students studying at various coaching centres in Dehradun. The sister-in- law of the applicant have lodged an FIR on 13.07.2025 under Section 120-B, 420, 467, 468, 471, 504 and 506 of IPC, in which, it was alleged that the applicant alongwith her husband have sold out the property which fell into the share of the complainant.
