KBP 1 5.cri.wp.2991-11.odt IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO.2991 OF 2011 Umesh Kailashchandji Harshal .. Petitioner Vs State of Maharashtra and ors. .. Respondents -- Mr.Manish Jain, for petitioner. Mrs.A.S.Pai, APP for respondent State. -- CORAM : A.M.KHANWILKAR & R.G.KETKAR, JJ. DATE : 15 th NOVEMBER, 2011 P.C.: Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. The grievance of the petitioner is that he has been falsely implicated as accused by the Investigating Officer. In the petition, however, it is prayed that direction be issued to the respondent nos.2 to 4 to register the complaint against respondent nos.7 to 10 for committing offence of extortionment and to take appropriate action against them. KBP 2 5.cri.wp.2991-11.odt 2] The learned A.P.P., on the other hand, pointed out that respondent no.9 has filed complaint in the local Police Station alleging that the petitioner represented to him that he would be able to get one flat allotted in the name of the complainant from the C.M.’s. quota for which, the petitioner demanded Rs.Fourteen lacs. That amount was paid by him. But the petitioner, relying on the written complaint of respondent no.9, pointed out that the said amount was paid to one Santosh K. Sreevastav in the presence of the petitioner, which does not mean that the petitioner is an accused. In the first place, the complainant alleges that the amount was paid due to the inducement and assurance given by the petitioner. Further, we are at a loss to know as to why the petitioner is feeling shy of asking relief of quashing the F.I.R., if he has any grievance in that regard. He may ask for the said relief so that the said grievance can be considered on its merits. We cannot consider the request of the accused for issuing direction to the Investigating Officer to investigate the case properly or act upon the unfounded allegations made by the petitioner. KBP 3 5.cri.wp.2991-11.odt 3] The petition, in our opinion, is ill advised. The same is accordingly dismissed. [R.G.KETKAR, J.] [A.M.KHANWILKAR, J.]
