Daryao Singh Khatri vs Het Ram (Retd. Lt. Colonel) on 24 June, 2013
A reference is made to
the Judgment of the Hon'ble High Court of Bombay (Aurangabad
Bench) in 'Anil Vs. Purushottam cited as : 2010 Criminal Law
Journal 1217' in Criminal Application No. 630 of 2009 in Criminal
Appeal (Stamp) No. 139 of 2009 as referred by the accused.
18 As an alternative plea, the accused has challenged the
competence of the complainant to pay such heavy amount to the
accused in cash on the date of alleged transaction. In this regard, the
complainant has made oral submissions that the substantive amount of
Rs.9 lakhs was paid out of the sale proceeds of machinery which was
earlier installed in the factory of the son of the complainant. Such a
submission made on behalf of the complainant has not been
corroborated by any material either in form of document or by way of
oral testimony of any witness. The complainant has not produced any
proof of the alleged payment made to the accused as neither he has
produced any receipt nor any security cheque has been obtained.
