Ltd. Briefly,<\/p>\n<p>the allegations contained in the FIR are that the petitioner, who is managing<\/p>\n<p>Director of GTM Builders and Promoters Pvt. Ltd., approached the<\/p>\n<p>complainant for the construction of multi-storeyed building on an area of<\/p>\n<p>about 1 acre purchased by him at village Gowal Pahari, Gurgaon. The<\/p>\n<p>building was to be known as Tower No.11. The petitioner had assured the<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> CRM-M No.32091 of 2008 (O&amp;M)                 -2-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>complainant company that his company is a cash rich company and will pay<\/p>\n<p>the running bills of the construction well within time. On this assurance, the<\/p>\n<p>complainant company entered into an agreement with the petitioner on<\/p>\n<p>10.3.2005 and started construction of the building. It was agreed upon<\/p>\n<p>between the parties that the petitioner shall supply cement and steel which<\/p>\n<p>shall be adjusted in the cost of the bills. After a few months of the inception<\/p>\n<p>of the construction, the petitioner delayed the payment of running bills on<\/p>\n<p>the ground that funds received in the proposed building have been blocked<\/p>\n<p>in another land purchased by him. He requested the complainant to carry on<\/p>\n<p>the construction work and on his request and assurance, funds were<\/p>\n<p>arranged from the market on a high rate of interest and invested the same in<\/p>\n<p>purchasing the machinaries and building construction material. Since there<\/p>\n<p>was a dispute between the parties with regard to construction and delayed<\/p>\n<p>payment of money, an addendum agreement was executed on 28.9.2006 as<\/p>\n<p>per which the company owned by the petitioner, assured the complainant<\/p>\n<p>that they would make the payment within 10 days on the submission of the<\/p>\n<p>bills. But despite that the bills were not paid in time, however, a fresh<\/p>\n<p>memorandum of understanding was executed on 25.3.2008 as per which the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner had agreed to pay Rs.1.25 Crores for the escalation charges in the<\/p>\n<p>construction material for structure raised as on 25.3.2008 and also agreed to<\/p>\n<p>pay the running bills in time with penalty for delay and the entire building<\/p>\n<p>work was scheduled to be completed by December 2008. It is also alleged<\/p>\n<p>that as soon as the complainant Company completed the structure of 96 flats<\/p>\n<p>of 17 floor of the multi-storeyed tower and were completing the finishing<\/p>\n<p>work of the flats at great speed, the petitioner showed his true colours and<\/p>\n<p>stopped making payment of running bills. Last bill dated 17.7.2008 of<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> CRM-M No.32091 of 2008 (O&amp;M)                 -3-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Rs.42.62 lacs was not paid but only Rs.5 lacs was paid for making payment<\/p>\n<p>of wages to the labour. The total outstanding as on 31.8.2008 against GTM<\/p>\n<p>Company is 2.88 Crores. It is also alleged that the petitioner had threatened<\/p>\n<p>the complainant and had also bribed his employees.\n<\/p>\n<p>            Before coming to this Court, the petitioner had applied for<\/p>\n<p>anticipatory bail before the Court below which was dismissed by the<\/p>\n<p>Additional Sessions Judge, Fast Track Court, Gurgaon on 11.10.2008.<\/p>\n<p>            Learned counsel for the petitioner has vehemently argued that<\/p>\n<p>the dispute between the parties is essentially of a civil nature which is borne<\/p>\n<p>out from the documents itself, therefore, custodial interrogation is not<\/p>\n<p>required. It is submitted that on 10.3.2005 agreement (Annexure P-2) was<\/p>\n<p>entered into between the parties as per which the petitioner had given the<\/p>\n<p>job of construction to the complainant on turn-key basis. The date of<\/p>\n<p>commencement of work agreed between the parties was 10.3.2005 and the<\/p>\n<p>date of completion was 31.10.2006. Since the work of contract should have<\/p>\n<p>been completed before the stipulated date and was not completed, therefore,<\/p>\n<p>vide (Annexure P-3) registered notice was given on 31.7.2006 calling upon<\/p>\n<p>the complainant to remedy the breach within a period of 15 days failing<\/p>\n<p>which the agreement Annexure P-2 shall stand terminated and the balance<\/p>\n<p>work shall be completed through other agency at the risk and cost of the<\/p>\n<p>complainant. Thereafter, addendum to the agreement dated 10.3.2005<\/p>\n<p>(Annexure P-2) was executed on 28.9.2006 (Annexure P-4) in which it was<\/p>\n<p>agreed by the complainant that they would furnish bank guarantee in favour<\/p>\n<p>of the petitioner for a sum of Rs.50 lacs at the time of signing its<\/p>\n<p>performance of the contract and shall issue five cheques of Rs.10 lacs each<\/p>\n<p>without mentioning the date, in favour of the petitioner. It was also provided<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> CRM-M No.32091 of 2008 (O&amp;M)                -4-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>in the addendum that the petitioner shall have right of lien on all<\/p>\n<p>machinaries and equipments deployed or to be deployed at site under the<\/p>\n<p>completion of GTM Residency Tower in all respects. If the complainant<\/p>\n<p>commits any default in performance of the contract then the petitioner shall<\/p>\n<p>have the right of lawful possession of the said machinery and equipment<\/p>\n<p>and shall also have a right to dispose them off for the purpose of realisation<\/p>\n<p>of damages. It is further submitted that despite the addendum, the<\/p>\n<p>complainant could not fulfill the commitment, therefore, vide letter dated<\/p>\n<p>5.3.2008 (Annexure P-5) the petitioner exercised his right of lien on all the<\/p>\n<p>machinaries and equipments available at the site to take possession and also<\/p>\n<p>declared that agreement dated 10.3.2005 (Annexure P-2) and addendum<\/p>\n<p>dated 28.9.2006 (Annexure P-4) stand cancelled. It is further submitted that<\/p>\n<p>on 10.3.2008, the petitioner had to issue legal notice (Annexure P-6) to the<\/p>\n<p>complainant on the ground that all the five cheques of Rs.10 lacs were<\/p>\n<p>dishonoured on the ground of `Insufficiency of funds&#8217; but due to some<\/p>\n<p>amicable settlement between the parties, the said legal notice (Annexure P-<\/p>\n<p>6) was withdrawn on 10.3.2008 vide letter (Annexure P-7) and thereafter on<\/p>\n<p>25.3.2008 memorandum of understanding (Annexure P-8) was also<\/p>\n<p>executed between the parties according to which construction work was to<\/p>\n<p>be finished by the complainant by 31.3.2008 positively. Since the work was<\/p>\n<p>not completed, therefore, the petitioner sent a letter of termination of<\/p>\n<p>contract on 29.8.2008 (Annexure P-10) and on 29.8.2008 he also made a<\/p>\n<p>complaint to the Commissioner of Police, Gurgaon against the complainant<\/p>\n<p>that they are threatening the employees of the petitioner. On 20.9.2008, the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner also informed the complainant that since there is clause No.16<\/p>\n<p>with regard to resolving the dispute through Arbitrator, therefore, they were<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> CRM-M No.32091 of 2008 (O&amp;M)                -5-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>requested to appoint a sole arbitrator. In the present case, the complainant<\/p>\n<p>filed a reply to the bail application to which the petitioner had also filed a<\/p>\n<p>rejoinder. Besides that the complainant filed an application under Section<\/p>\n<p>340 Cr.P.C.\n<\/p>\n<p>              In response to the arguments raised by the counsel for the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner, counsel for the complainant has vehemently argued that offence<\/p>\n<p>under Section 420 IPC is apparent on the face of it as from the beginning<\/p>\n<p>the complainant was allured by the petitioner for the construction of flats by<\/p>\n<p>assuring him that it is a cash rich company and all the payments shall be<\/p>\n<p>made in time. It is further submitted that Section 406 IPC is also made out<\/p>\n<p>on the basis of the allegations made in the FIR. Since the complainant has<\/p>\n<p>threatened by the petitioner, therefore, Section 506 IPC is also made out. It<\/p>\n<p>is further submitted by the counsel for the complainant that an amount of<\/p>\n<p>Rs.2.92 Crores is still due towards the petitioner, which has not been paid so<\/p>\n<p>far. Learned counsel for the complainant has further argued that in view of<\/p>\n<p>the decision of the Apex Court in the case of Adri Dharan Das Vs. State<\/p>\n<p>of West Bengal (2005) 4 SCC 303, the petitioner is not entitled to<\/p>\n<p>anticipatory bail.\n<\/p>\n<p>              In response to this argument, counsel for the petitioner has<\/p>\n<p>relied upon decision of the Apex Court in Gurbaksh Singh Sibbia etc. Vs.<\/p>\n<p>The State of Punjab AIR 1980 SC 1632 and Savitri Agarwal &amp; Othres<\/p>\n<p>Vs. State of Maharashtra and another 2009(4) Recent Apex Judgments<\/p>\n<p>516. Counsel for the petitioner has further submitted that in terms of the<\/p>\n<p>order passed by this Court dated 11.12.2008, the petitioner has already<\/p>\n<p>joined the investigation. This fact is not disputed by the counsel for the<\/p>\n<p>State.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\"> CRM-M No.32091 of 2008 (O&amp;M)                -6-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>             I have given my thoughtful consideration to the respective<\/p>\n<p>contentions raised by the counsel for the parties and have perused the record<\/p>\n<p>with their assistance.\n<\/p>\n<p>             The resume of the facts originated from the documents on<\/p>\n<p>record shows that it is a business dispute between the parties in which<\/p>\n<p>agreement,    addendum    to   agreement    and   even    memorandum      of<\/p>\n<p>understanding have been executed for the purpose of execution of<\/p>\n<p>construction work, which has been delayed for one reason or the other. It is<\/p>\n<p>also brought to the notice of the Court that after a request made by the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner to the complainant for the appointment of arbitrator (Annexure P-<\/p>\n<p>12), a petition has already been filed before the Hon&#8217;ble Delhi High Court<\/p>\n<p>for the purpose of appointment of an Arbitrator on 29.5.2009 in which<\/p>\n<p>notice of motion has been issued for 11.9.2009. This Court has found that it<\/p>\n<p>is a dispute with regard to accounting and interpretation of the relevant<\/p>\n<p>provisions of the agreement between the parties because the petitioner is<\/p>\n<p>claiming lien of the plot and machinery on the basis of Clause 3 of the<\/p>\n<p>addendum to the agreement dated 10.3.2005 (Annexure P-2) and the<\/p>\n<p>complainant is claiming escalation in the cost price on the basis of<\/p>\n<p>memorandum of understanding (Annexure P-8) dated 25.3.2008. It is<\/p>\n<p>worthwhile to mention that both addendum (Annexure P-4) and<\/p>\n<p>memorandum of understanding (Annexure P-8) are the part of the main<\/p>\n<p>agreement (Annexure P-2). Since the entire dispute is based upon<\/p>\n<p>documents which according to the petitioner, have already been submitted<\/p>\n<p>to the Investigating Officer and that the petitioner has joined the<\/p>\n<p>investigation, therefore, order dated 11.12.2008 is made absolute. It is<\/p>\n<p>however, directed that petitioner shall join the investigation as and when<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> CRM-M No.32091 of 2008 (O&amp;M)                -7-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>called for.
