( 1 ) IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 3822 OF 2010 WITH CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 1206 OF 2010 WITH CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 1626 OF 2010 Abedkhan Akbarkhan APPLICANT VERSUS The State of Maharashtra & another RESPONDENTS .... Mr. S.M. Godsay, advocate for the applicant in all the three applications. Mr. B.J. Sonawane, APP for the respondent/State. .... [CORAM : V.R. KINGAONKAR, J.] [DATE : 29th October, 2010] PER COURT : 1. Heard. 2. Considering the nature of F.I.Rs. and the report of the Investigating Officer and on hearing learned advocate for the applicant and learned A.P.P., it prima facie appears that the applicant himself approached the informants. The applicant represented himself as authorized person nominated by Aman Institution of Human Research and Development, Lucknow (U.P.), ( 2 ) he represented himself to be a Coordinator of the Project for taking survey of the villages in order to create awareness of AID/HIV. The F.I.Rs. filed by the various nominated persons or Secretaries of the Institution purport to show that amount of Rs. 3,50,000/- each were allegedly given to the Institutions through cheques. However, the cheques issued by so called President of Aman Institution of Human Research and Development, Lucknow were dishonoured. 3. The contention of the applicant is that he was employee of the said Institution as a Coordinator and had no knowledge regarding the ill-intention to dupe the other Institutes. He would submit that he himself is victim of such a fraud and has been falsely implicated in the alleged crime of misappropriation of the funds and the cheating. 4. The investigation is still going on. The Investigating Officer submits that the applicant is closely associated with the so called bogus Institution styled as "Aman Institution of Human Research and Development, Lucknow (U.P.)". It is difficult to instantaneously believe that the applicant had no knowledge about the nature of the activities of the so called Institution and that he himself was required ( 3 ) to work as a Coordinator in the course of alleged employment of the Institution. In any case, the investigation cannot be scuttled at the premature stage. The extraordinary jurisdiction available under section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code cannot be invoked in the fact situation of the present cases. Under the circumstances, all the three (3) applications are dismissed. [V.R. KINGAONKAR] JUDGE NPJ/criapln3822-10-group
