The complainant has been duped of huge amount. The petitioner is stated to be facing trial in FIR No. 35 dated 28.2.2005 under Sections 3, 5, 8, 9, 14 (2), 15, 18 and 36 of PUDA Act, 1995 registered at Police Station Garshankar, District Hoshiarpur and in FIR No. 48 dated 5.4.2006 under Sections 406, 420 IPC registered at Police Station Model town, Ludhiana.
