1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 4182 OF 2009 Mohan Singh Jagat Singh Dhami ... Applicant (Org.complainant) Vs. State of Maharashtra & Ors. ... Respondent Ms. Bhavana Shah, Advocate, for the applicant. Ms. A.T.Javeri, APP, for the respondent N.1 - State. CORAM: J.H.BHATIA,J. DATE : 2nd July, 2010. P.C. 1. Heard the learned Counsel for the applicant. Perused the impugned order. 2. The applicant before this Court is the original complainant. According to him, there is a partnership firm in the name and style of "M/s. Jagatsingh & Sons" and another partnership firm in the name of "Shalimar Auto Services". The basic contention of the complainant is that accused No.1 has not given accounts of the firms and that he has diverted the funds of the firms and opened account with the Bank in the name of m/s. Shalimar Auto services 2 showing himself to be the proprietor and thereby he had committed several offences punishable under Sections 403, 406, 420, 467, 468 read with Sec. 34 IPC. The learned trial Court dismissed the complaint under Sec. 203 Cr. P.C.holding that it is a matter of civil nature pertaining to the business of partnership firms. 3. Taking into consideration the facts, it appears that the proper remedy for the applicant may be filing a suit for dissolution of the partnership firm and for accounts and share in the profits. I do not find anything illegal in the observations of the trial Court that it is a case of civil nature and not a criminal case. The Application is rejected. (J.H.BHATIA,J.)
