It is the case of the petitioners that the chit was started in 1998 and closed in 2002 duly paying prize amount by cheque. Be that as it is, the petitioners, who are husband and wife, alleged that the respondents are calling the petitioners to Police Station and directing them to settle the matter with V. Raghuram by paying a sum of Rs.50,000/-. A suit being O.S.No.582 of 2004 filed by the first petitioner against the wife of one Suryanarayana, who is brother of Raghuram, is still pending.
