Ram Gopal and others) arising out of Case Crime No. 0009 of 2019, under Section 406 IPC, P.S. Kotwali, District- Maharajganj, pending in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Maharajganj.

As per the allegations made in the first information report and the statement of the victim recorded u/s 161 Cr.P.C, it is alleged that the applicant in connivance with Ram Gopal and Harish Chand had taken a sum of Rs. 10 lacs on the pretext of getting employment, however the applicant could not provide any job and when he was asked to return back the money, the same was not paid back and has been swindled by the applicant.

Learned counsel for the applicant has submitted that from the perusal of the allegations made in the FIR and the material collected during the course of investigation, no offence is disclosed against the applicant and the present prosecution has been instituted with a malafide intention for the purposes of harassment. He has pointed out certain documents and statements in support of his contention.

Per contra, learned AGA has submitted that from the perusal of the allegations made in the FIR and the material collected during the course of investigation, prima facie offence is clearly made out against the applicant and as such, entire proceedings cannot be quashed.

State of U.P. reported in 2004 (57) ALR 290 as well as judgement passed by Hon’ble Apex Court in the case of Lal Kamlendra Pratap Singh Vs. State of U.P. reported in 2009 (3) ADJ 322 (SC).
