The State of Maharashtra & Others ..Respondents Mr.Shivajirao Masal for the Petitioner. Mrs.M.M.Deshmukh, APP for the State CORAM : B.H. MARLAPALLE & R.Y.GANOO, JJ. DATED : 7th November, 2009 P.C. : 1. We have heard Mr.Masal, learned Counsel for the petitioner. As per the petitioner she paid an amount of Rs.2,00,000/- by cheque and Rs. 57,000/- by cash to M/s. Car Runway India Ltd., under the scheme purportedly announced by the said company. Subsequently, nothing was heard from the said company. The petitioner, therefore approached the Vashi Police Station and filed complaint of cheating. It is the petitioner’s grievance that the police authorities are not taking due steps for investigation and to take further action in the said complaint. 2 2. The learned Counsel for the petitioner stated before us that she has not instituted any recovery proceedings before the Civil Court and even for dishonoured cheques no complaint under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act has been filed. 3. In respect of the complaint for cheating, the petitioner ought to be relegated to the remedy of filing a private complaint before the learned Judicial Magistrate, Ist Class, at Vashi and we are not inclined to entertain this petition in these circumstances. 4. Hence the petition is disposed off by relegating the petitioner to approach the Court of the Judicial Magistrate, Ist Class, Vashi. [R.Y.GANOO, J.] [B.H. MARLAPALLE, J.]
