Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973–Secs. 154 & 482–Parties are blaming to each other that the money was taken for securing the job–In the complaint made before the Collector, enquiry was made by the concerned SHO and respondent no. 6 stated that she had paid Rs. four lacs to the appellant for providing the job, therefore, she cannot raise a plea that she had no knowledge of the complaint made by the appellant–Material on record shows that it was totally unlawful contract between the parties–Suit for recovery could not have been filed for the said purpose and even it could be filed, it could be difficult to establish the same where the payment was entirely in cash–FIR was lodged as a better medium to recover the amount–Entire proceedings are liable to be quashed.
