thereafter, the petitioner stated that he has no plot in

Sy.No.170 and he has plot in Sy.No.29/1, situated at

Khanapur Shivar, therefore, the 2nd respondent demanded

the petitioner to return the amount, but he did not return

the same. The main allegation against the petitioner/

Accused is that he had created false documents and

cheated the 2nd respondent by taking an amount of

Rs.1,50,000/-. Basing on the said complaint, the above

crime was registered.

4. Learned counsel for the petitioner contended that

as per the complaint itself the incident took place on

31.0.1022 and the complaint lodged on 28.04.2025,

therefore, there is abnormal delay in lodging the complaint

and no explanation was given by the 2nd respondent for the

said delay. Learned counsel further submits that there is

no documentary evidence to show that the 2nd respondent

paid an amount of Rs.1,50,000/- to the petitioner. It is

further submitted that the allegations made against the

petitioner are false, frivolous and baseless and the

complaint which is lodged against the petitioner do not

attract the provisions which they were charged against the

petitioner and the petitioner is being implicated in the false

criminal case and that he is apprehending arrest in the

hands of the police and that he is ready to abide any

conditions imposed by this Court.

5. Learned Additional Public Prosecutor had

submitted that the petitioner not only involved in the said

offences and he is an habitual offender and involved in as

many as five (5) cases i.e.,Cr.Nos.27 and 210 of 2013, 32 of

2015 and 362 and 397 of 2024, which are mentioned in

the instructions which are placed before this Court.

6. Perusal of the material on record would show that

the offences alleged against the petitioner are under

Sections 467, 468 and 420. Though the Sections 468 and

420 are below seven (7) years, but the offence under

Section 467 is more than seven (7) years.

7. Having considered the submissions made by the

learned counsel for the respective parties and since the

petitioner involved in various offences of cheating and other

offences which are similar in nature before the various

police stations in Adilabad, this Court is not inclined to

consider the request made by the petitioner.

8. Accordingly, this Criminal Petition is liable to be

dismissed and it is dismissed.

Miscellaneous applications pending, if any, shall stand

closed.
