THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N. RAVI SHANKAR CRIMINAL PETITION No.5766 of 2011 ORDER: Heard the learned counsel for petitioner and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor. 2. The FIR allegations are that this petitioner’s brother-in-law took some amounts from the de facto complainant and others and cheated them and that when they came to the brother-in-law of the petitioner to demand the amounts, both the petitioner’s brother-in-law and the petitioner threatened them with dire consequences and told them not to demand the money. The petitioner’s brother-in-law is A-1 and the petitioner is A-2 in the case. The case is registered for the offences punishable under Sections 420 and 506 IPC. 3. The contention of the petitioner’s counsel is that since the allegations of cheating are not present against the petitioner, the FIR against him should be quashed. A perusal of the FIR however makes it clear that it does contain allegations against the petitioner relating to criminal intimidation which is a matter of investigation. The main allegation is that A-1 who is none else than the brother-in-law of the petitioner took some amounts from the de facto complainant and others and cheated them. In these circumstances there are no grounds to entertain this petition and it is accordingly dismissed at the admission stage. ______________________ N. RAVI SHANKAR, J 14th July 2011 CVRK
