SC notice to Pranav Ansal on plea against bail in cheating case

Published

on

The Supreme Court has issued notice on a plea against the Allahabad High Court order, which dismissed a plea challenging bail granted to Pranav Ansal, son of Sushil Ansal, in an alleged cheating and forgery case in connection with unauthorized booking in Sushanta Golf City, Lucknow.

A bench headed by Chief Justice N.V. Ramana and comprising Justices A.S. Bopanna and Hima Kohli said: “Heard learned senior counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner. Issue notice, returnable within four weeks”. The notice has been issued to Ansal and the Uttar Pradesh government. Senior advocate Anjana Prakash appeared for the petitioner before the bench.

The plea has been filed by Lucknow resident Sunita Agarwal through advocate Kumar Mihir. The plea claimed that the petitioner had filed a complaint on November 13, 2017 with the PGI, Lucknow police station alleging that various accused persons, including Ansal, have committed acts of cheating and forgery with respect to illegal and unauthorised booking of various flats/plots/villas situated in Sushanta Golf City, Lucknow. A case was registered under various sections, including cheating, in December 2017.

The investigation found the allegations substantiated against Ansal and one Harish Gulla and the police report was filed on December 19, 2019. Special Chief Judicial Magistrate (Custom), Lucknow issued summons against Ansal on December 24, 2019. Ansal proposed a settlement to the petitioner.

“The settlement acknowledged the claim of the Petitioner and promise that they would allot new properties to the Petitioner in addition to the retained properties and would adjust the amounts paid by the Petitioner in such a way that the property is newly allotted to them and retained by them would be completely paid-up and no amount would be outstanding towards the purchase price of the said properties”, said the plea.

The plea contended that settlement deed on other papers was signed by the authorised representative, authorised vide company Board Resolution on September 9, 2019. However, the high court granted bail to Ansal on January 23, 2020.

The plea added that Ansal was released from custody, on the basis of the settlement deed, however, he did not adhere to promises made in the settlement.

“The Respondent No 2 (Ansal) denied having anything to do with the settlement deed and claimed that the executer of the said settlement deed is not an authorised representative at all. The said contention is not only clearly fallacious but also misleading. It is a matter of record that the Respondent No 2 filed a supplementary affidavit annexing the settlement deed before the High Court and sought bail before the High Court on the ground of the settlement arrived at between the parties”, added the plea.

The high court dismissed the petitioner’s plea against bail to Ansal on November 1, 2021.

The petitioner moved the top court seeking a direction to set aside the bail order of the high court.

UP: Man Beats Wife To Death In Amroha For Not Meeting Dowry Demands Of TVS Apache Bike & ₹3 Lakh Cash

Published

Amroha: In a tragic incident from Uttar Pradesh’s Amroha, a young woman named Meena was brutally beaten to death by her husband, Sundar, for not fulfilling his dowry demands. Sundar, a resident of Baikheda village, had been married to Meena for two years and had persistently demanded a TVS Apache bike and Rs 3 lakh as dowry. Despite repeated harassment over the dowry, Meena was unable to meet his demands, a situation she had confided to her father.

Meena had been staying at her father’s home in Soharka since the festival of Rakshabandhan, possibly seeking refuge from the abuse. Sundar continued visiting her daily, often having meals with her family, creating an appearance of normalcy.

Sundar Brought Meena Back Home, Later Killed Her

On Sunday night, he came to bring her back to his house. Once there, Sundar confronted her again about the dowry and, in a violent fit of rage, attacked her with sticks. Unable to force her compliance, he strangled her to death before fleeing the scene.

It was the local residents who first alerted the authorities to the murder. Upon hearing the devastating news, Meena’s family rushed to the police station, demanding immediate action against Sundar. Her father, Vijay Khadak Banshi, later lodged a formal complaint accusing Sundar, along with his mother, sister and four others, of involvement in the crime.

Case Filed, Manhunt Launched To Nab Accused

The police have registered a case based on the family’s complaint and are actively searching for Sundar, who remains at large. Meanwhile, Meena’s body has been sent for a post-mortem examination to aid in the ongoing investigation.
