Criminal Law

Advance paid 19 lacs in 2018 for a Shop but no much progress since then. We insist on registration of the sale agreement but the Builder avoids calls.  Recently I came to know that the builder sold the same shop to another person. We visited the Police Station to file an FIR but the police officer refused to lodge an FIR and told us to file a complaint.

He said to first submit a complaint and they will verify the facts post which FIR can be filed. Is this not a cognizable offence? How can we insist police to file FIR and catch the builder before he absconds? The same Shop which is sold to me is even registered under different names and even most of the flats in the said building are sold to multiple buyers.

I am a Muslim girl living in Bengaluru. My deceased uncle had bequeathed expensive properties in Pune and Latur Maharashtra, by Will to me and I am a lawful beneficiary. Sir, I want to know how to file FIR against my uncle. As an Executor, he has embezzled all movable assets by grabbing and by sale. White and black money both are involved in the deals. My other uncle is living in Akola Maharashtra, is the Executor cum beneficiary along with others. He has also sold two immovable properties but is refusing to give any amount to the legal beneficiaries, who are also ladies living in Guntur (AP) and Aligarh (UP). Overall, the Uncle has cheated and breached our trust and affection.

Even a blank cheque would attract presumption under section 139 of the Negotiable Instrument Act. Section 139 of NI Act, raises presumption in favor of holder of cheque that it was issued in discharge of debt or other liability. The accused cannot rebut this...
