C Vinod Raj is accused no. Naveen Kumar, accused no. HR Lakshman Kumar, accused no. Ravi Kumar, police inspector in the vigilance and STF of BDA, is the complainant. Furthermore, an unidentified individual presented a pen drive to the BDA commissioner, alleging that certain BDA officials were collaborating with Inder Kumar by bringing official BDA allotment letters and seals to his private office on Cunningham Road. It alleged that sites were being allotted in HBR and HRBR layouts with forged BDA allotment letters for lakhs. The petitioners argued that the admitted fact is that they had allegedly got the documents prepared, but never used the same and hence, none of the offences can be invoked against them. In the complaint or the chargesheet, there is no document mentioning a particular forgery. There is no witness statement taken with regard to any property. The allotment letters that were seized were all genuine and were never dispatched to any of the allottees. There are no sale deeds executed and the land still belongs to BDA, the petitioners added. After perusing materials on record, Justice M Nagaprasanna noted that the offences of cheating and forgery are two of the few offences where there must be a victim. The petitioners herein have not even met the threshold of attempting to commit the alleged offences as aforementioned, the judge pointed out. When there is no transfer of rights to the accused, there can be no allegation that the victim was deceived, the judge observed while quashing the chargesheet filed against the petitioners.
