This Crl.P. is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. with a prayer to quash the entire proceedings in Cr.No. 679/2015 on the file of the VIII ACMM, Bangalore (Vidhana Soudha Police, Bangalore) for the offences punishable under Sections 417, 420, 465, 468, 471 r/w. 34 IPC and etc.
This Crl.P. coming on for Admission this day, the Court passed the following;
O R D E R Petitioners are practicing advocates. A complaint is registered against them alleging that without any authorization, petitioners filed vakalat on behalf of the complainant in W.P. No. 2648/2015 and filed a statement therein forging the signature of complainant Nos. 1 and 2 without their knowledge, falsely claiming that they had given a `no objection’ to change the khata in the name of D.R. Venkatesh Gowda and that the misunderstanding between the complainants and Sri. D.R. Venkatesh Gowda has been solved. In the complaint it is alleged that the complainants neither know the petitioners nor did they ever met them nor signed any vakalath authorizing them to represent the complainants.
2. These allegations, in my view, are required to be investigated. Hence, keeping open all the contentions urged in the petition, the petition is dismissed.
