The process was issued on 13.9.2002. The case set up by the complainant is that some amount was paid by the complainant to accused no.2 for which he had executed a promissory note in favour of the complainant. That amount was paid by the complainant at the instance of the petitioner. It appears that the accused persons failed to keep the promise and thereby allegedly cheated the complainant. It is further alleged that the petitioner is involved in the financial business of accepting deposits and issuing interest receipts without licence under the provisions of Bombay Money Lenders Act and hence he has also committed an offence under section 32-B of 2 2 2 Bombay Money Lenders Act.Considering overall facts and circumstances of the case, I find no error in the order of issue of process. The petition is accordingly rejected. (D.B.BHOSALE,J.)
