During the course of investigation it transpired that the petitioner had created few fake Companies and had collected cheques from them for the material supplied but these cheques on presented were dishonoured. The petitioner also did not despite the outstanding amounts with the complainant as a result of which financial loss was caused to the Company.

He has referred to various transactions with number of Companies i.e. Apparels & Linens India Pvt. Limited, S.R. Handloom, Bajaj Combine, Maruti Handloom etc. With the assistance of counsel for the complainant and the State counsel, I have gone through various transactions and the statements of the witnesses which have been recorded by the investigating agency which indicate that not only the customers of the complainant Company have been duped by the petitioner but the petitioner has created fake Companies and shown supply of the material to them but the cheques issued by them to the complainant Company were dishonoured. The investigation indicates that fake Companies had issued cheques though the supply of the material had been effected in a fraudulent manner at addresses which do not exist.
