A city court has directed police to register by 1pm on Monday an FIR against MGF developers in a case of fraud filed by another real estate major, M3M. Sunday's order to the police was the third by the court since December 30.
The court of judicial magistrate (first class) Anil Kumar said it would initiate contempt proceedings against the police if the FIR was not filed within the stipulated time. The Gurugram police commissioner was directed to ensure it was done.
It was on Thursday that the court had first directed the police to register an FIR against MGF Developers. After two days, it passed another order and asked the station house officer of City police station to appear before it on Sunday. The police officer informed the court on Sunday that there was a delay in registering the FIR because the complainant, M3M, had not mentioned the "place of occurrence". He then sought three days' time to file the FIR.
The counsel for MGF also sought three days to study the previous order of the court. However, the lawyer representing M3M submitted a copy of an email it had sent the police commissioner with the previous court order asking for an FIR to be registered attached. The judge observed that the email showed that the city police chief had complete knowledge of the court order, but the FIR was not filed even after that.
After hearing all the parties, the court gave the police time till Monday 1pm to file the FIR or face action. "In case of non-compliance, contempt proceedings will be initiated by the court without any delay. The SHO concerned is directed to submit the copy of FIR on or before 1pm on January 3," the court observed.
The petition the court is hearing is related to a land deal that took place between the two developers in 2016. According to the complaint filed by M3M, Emaar-MGF had approached them with an offer of selling 31 acres in Choma village of Gurugram. M3M claimed to have paid Rs 88 crore for the land parcel in November 2016, but came to know in December this year that the same plot had been sold to another company.
"MGF has done a fraud with us. We have full faith in the judiciary system of our country and the police. We are sure that action will be taken and justice will be delivered," news agency PTI quoted Ekta Yadav, the legal head of M3M, as saying.
