The aforesaid ancestors expired in the years 1982-83 whereafter, the complainants came to know that the land was mutated in the name of one Mahipal in the year 2002. However, they claimed that they being the legal heirs, did not sell the said land to anyone. 3. A case was registered after conducting an inquiry. In the course of investigation, it transpired that Firey Singh, Rameshwar and Sunil had hatched a criminal conspiracy to sell the papers of the shared land, by forging documents. Thereafter, they executed a sale deed dated 2.5.2002 in respect of the land in question with one Mahpial, the nephew of the petitioner, in which the sale price was shown as Rs.2,00,000/-. Out of the aforesaid amount, some amount was given to one Tejpal who had a role to play in the transaction and the remaining amount was shared between the aforesaid three persons. 4. The Status Report notes that taking advantage of the fact that none of the persons had any documents in respect of the shared land, the aforesaid three persons hatched a conspiracy and forged documents in collusion with one Brijpal and Tejpal and cheated Mahipal to the tune of Rs.2,00,000/-. It is further stated that the aforesaid documents have been taken into possession, except for the original forged GPA executed by the Bhumidars in favour of Brijpal, BAIL APPLN.
