The petitioner who is the original complainant agreed to purchase a shop from the firm of accused Nos. 2 to 4 in the year 1995. In the evidence before charge on behalf of the accused it has been elicited in the cross examination of the complainant that the accused Nos. 2 to 4, in fact, joined the partnership firm i.e. respondent No.1 on 1.11.1997. There therefore, could not have been any false representation made at the initial stage. In the circumstances, the charge under Section-420 is thus correctly not framed against the accused persons. Hence, writ petition is rejected. :2: (R. S. MOHITE, J.)
