Having heard the pros and cons, it transpires that initially an F.I.R. was lodged on 23.08.2016 by Sri Vijay Kumar (respondent No. 3) against Sri Rishiraj Singh Tomar for the offences of Sections 380, 457 and 406 of I.P.C. read with Section 3(v) SC/ST Act and the brief facts of the said F.I.R. were that Sri Rishiraj Singh Tomar purchased 30 Sq. Mtr. land of Sri Vijay Kumar to raise a construction thereon. Ground and first floors were constructed. The ground floor was taken in occupation by Sri Rishiraj Singh Tomar while the first floor was taken in occupation by Sri Vijay Kumar.

Showing this much, he could convince Sri Vikas Jain alias Rinku Jain for purchase of that house and the latter purchased the said house for due consideration from Sri Rishiraj Singh Tomar.

The petitioner was also directed to contact the Investigating Officer on 19.01.2017 or on such subsequent dates, as may be instructed by him.

Now the controversy starts when the Investigating Officer, without waiting the petitioner's visit up till 19.01.2017, moved an application to the concerned Magistrate either on 17.01.2017 or on 18.01.2017 for proclamation under Section 82 of Cr.P.C. and the Magistrate was quick enough to sign such proclamation and that is the reason, the said proclamation could find place in the daily newspapers to the high ignominy of Sri Vikas Jain &...
