2) Petitioners herein are accused Nos.1 and 2. Respondent
No.2 is the complainant. Respondent No.2 herein filed a complaint
before the police alleging that she is the partner of NK Engineering
Works established by her husband in the year 2014. Later, in the
year 2016, petitioner No.1 herein joined as partner in her firm and
they executed a partnership deed on 18.05.2016 and on the same
day her husband and one Aryaman Midha (petitioner No.2 herein),
who is the son of petitioner No.1, joined as Chief Operating Officer
(COO) and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) respectively. On
26.06.2019 at about 4.00 p.m. petitioner Nos.1 and 2 came to the
house of respondent No.2 and insisted her to sign on a newly
created deed of retirement, on perusing the same, she refused to
sign on those papers, for which both the petitioners abused her in
filthy language and threatened to kill her family. When defacto
complainant requested them to pay due salary of Rs.8,00,000/- to
her husband and to settle the accounts, both the petitioners left the
house and bore grudge against defacto complainant, and avoided
her in day to day to activities of the firm. Further, the petitioners ill
treated her husband. Having waited for some time, defacto
complainant – respondent No.2 addressed a letter to the firm to
settle her account and pay the dues, the petitioners committed
forgery of her signatures and continued the transactions in the
VS,J
Crlp_3648_2020
banks. Defacto complainant further alleged that the petitioners
created a new deed in their favour as if defacto complainant
voluntarily retired from the firm by forging her signatures on the said
deed and Form V and submitted the same to the District Registrar,
Visakhapatnam and when she searched in the website, she has not
found her name as a partner, on noticing the same, she intimated
the same to her Banker and requested to stop all the transactions
on behalf of NK Engineering as they are taking place without her
consent. When the banker restricted the petitioners herein, they
have opened another account in the name of NK Engineering work
at ICICI Bank, Gandhinagar Branch with the support of new forged
documents and continued the business affairs without her consent.
Further, she tried to negotiate with the petitioners for an amicable
settlement, but they have not come forward to settle the issue till
date and that they are running the business with forged documents.
Therefore, she lodged the said complaint with the police against the
petitioners. The present petition has been filed to quash the Crime
No.612 of 2020.
