Grounds
A. The Ld. M.M Failed to appreciate the fact that the sole purpose of forming a
Company is to earn aprofit, which is utilized for the welfare of the natural person
engaged with the Company and for the company itself. For the efficient working of
the company certain pivotal designation has to be acquired by the person(s) which is
deemed to be acquainted with the affairs of the company and in the like scenario it is
not necessary to aver specifically the role of the Managing Director, Director, signing
authority and other important authority of the company having check on the
B. The Ld. M.M Failed to appreciate the judgment and the principles carved out by the
Hon’ble High Court of Delhi in Crl. M.C No.4077/2011 titled “Ranjit Tiwari v.
Narender Nayyar and the Hon’ble Supreme Court titled National Small Industries
Cooperation Ltd. V. Harmeet Singh Paintal and Anr., Crl. A.No. 320-330 of 2010.
C. The Ld. M.M Failed to appreciate the judgment inS.M.S Pharmaceuticals Ltd. Vs.
Neeta Bhalla and Another 2005 Cri. L.J. 4140 (SC), it has been held by Hon'ble
Apex Court that "the question notes that the Managing Director or Joint Managing
company for theconduct of its business. When that is so, holder of these positions in a
company become liable under Sec.141 of the Act. By virtue of the office, they hold as
Managing Director or Joint Managing Director these persons are in charge of and
responsible for the conduct of the business of the company. Therefore, they get
covered under Sec.141. So far asthe signatory of athe cheque which is dishonored is
concerned, he is clearly responsible for the incriminating act and will be covered
D. The Ld. M.M Failed to appreciate the fact that practice of making Managing Director,
Director and Signing Authority as a party to the legal proceeding if some criminal
offenses are committed by the company is the usual practice. Since thecompany is not
a natural person consequently cannot be prosecuted, which will render the whole
E. The Ld. M.M Failed to appreciate that the Section 141 states that if the person
Company who was in charge of and responsible to that Company for theconduct of its
business shall also be deemed to be guilty. The reason for creating vicarious liability
is plainly that a juristic entity i.e. a Company would be run by living persons who are
in charge of its affairs and who guide the actions of that Company and that if such
juristic entity is guilty, those who were so responsible for its affairs and who guided
actions of such juristic entity must be held responsible and ought to be proceeded
against. Section 141 again does not lay down any requirement that in such eventuality
the directors must individually be issued separate notices under Section 138. The
persons who are in charge of the affairs of the Company and running its affairs must
naturally be aware of the notice of demand under Section 138 of the Act issued to
‘drawer’ Company is considered good enough for those who are in charge of the
F. The Ld. M.M failed to appreciate the fact that Respondent No. 2 & 3 had been made
parties to the complaint, but Ld. M.M refused to issue summons against Respondent
Nos. 2 and 3.
G. The Ld. M.M Failed to appreciate the fact that respondent 2 i.e the managing director
of respondent no.1 & Respondent no.3 i.e Director and the Signing Authority of
unacceptable to believe that the Respondent No. 3 who is the signing Authority,
H. The Ld. M.M Failed to appreciate that the principal offender in each case is only the
body cooperate and it is the juristic person and when the company is the drawer of the
cheque, such company is the principal offender and the remaining person are made
I. The Ld. M.M failed to appreciate that Four Cheques of the Respondents were
PAYMENT”. After that when the Fifth cheque bearing No. 551786 issued by the
Respondents with the assurance that this time it will not return unpaid but again
cheque was dishonored with the Remark “ACCOUNT CLOSED”. This indicates
malafide intention and planned action on the part of Respondents. Since Respondent
No. 2 and Respondent No.3 continuously asking for the more time and giving
assurance of paying the amount soon even after knowing well that they had neither
sufficient balance in his bank account nor he had made any alternative arrangements
J. That the Petitioner reserves his right to take other and further grounds with the
PRAYER
It is, therefore, most respectfully and humbly prayed to this Hon’bleCourt that this
1. Call for the records of the trial court and set aside the impugned order dated
19.10.2015 and also direct the Ld. Metropolitan Magistrate to issue summons to the

ANNEXTURE- F
I, the undersigned am Resident of House No. 38, Ground Floor, Anupam Apartment,
Saiddullajab, Neb Sarai, New Delhi-110068. The said house was allotted to my father in law
Late Sh. Padam Prakash Mittal and we have been living at the property since then.
Furthermore, after the demise of my father in law, the said house devolved upon my husband
namely Sh. Pradeep Mittal and we have been living in the house peacefully.
On 25th July 2017, some unknown persons, claiming them to be employees of Building
Department, South Delhi Municipal Corporation visited my house along with some Police
persons. They visited my house at 6.00 p.m. in the evening, while my husband and I were
away for our respective works and my minor daughter, namely Muskan Mittal, was alone at
home.
My Daughter opened the door and asked them about their purpose of visit, whereby the
visitors introduced themselves as the employees of the Building Department, SDMC and
informed her that they were there to cut (remove) the illegal grill put (erected) on the roof.
Thereby, she informed them that no one was at home and requested to come later on when
the parents are at home. However, they did not heed any attention to her repeated requests
and forcefully entered my house. My minor daughter, being afraid of such an adamant
behavior of the said person got very scared and called me and informed about the situation. I,
immediately, setting aside everything, left for home. It is to be noted that I direly feared for
my daughter’s safety and security as she was all alone and there was no one to assist her and I
was also not sure whether the people visiting my home were really SDMC employee or
illegal elements. While, on the way to home, I called on my daughter’s Mobile No. and tried
to talk to one of the persons, whereby the person I talked to, told me that they were from
building department and came to remove the grill put on the roof, which I vehemently
opposed as I was never intimated regarding the same nor any show cause notice was issued to
me, but the person over phone did not listen to anything and said that order was already
passed and they were there to comply the order.
Furthermore, I also informed him that the grill was put only to restrain the miscreants from
entering my house and was temporary in nature and was in no manner causing difficulty to
anyone but the person on phone was not ready to listen to anything and adamant to remove
the grill without any reasonable justification. However, when I reached home, all the persons
were gone and my daughter informed me that they were saying to come back next day i.e.
27.07.2017.
It is pertinent to mention that owner of House No. 40, namely Mr. T.C.A Srinivasan, illegally
tried to open a window and a door on my roof top which I opposed and lodged a complaint to
Municipal Corporation and the police but failed to seek any relief at their end, thereby I
moved to Court and instituted a civil suit bearing no. 235 of 2015 seeking a permanent
injunction against the owner of House No. 40 (Mr. T.C.A Srinivasan), whereby the Ld Court
considering the facts and circumstances of the dispute vide dated 18.08.2015 passed an
interim order in my favor and stayed the illegal construction. That after passing of the said
order, the construction was stopped, but the door was still open causing a severe threat to our
privacy and life. Therefore, having in mind the said order of the Ld. Court I put a temporary
iron grill to safeguard my family from any threat during the pendency of the suit. It is to be
noticed that once the final order is passed, we shall abide by it and take the action
accordingly. It is also to be noticed that Mr. T.C.A Srinivasan has preferred an appeal
(bearing No.412 of 2017) against the order dated 01.02.2017 of the Ld. Civil Court, whereby
the Ld. Court dismissed the application preferred by Mr. T.C.A Srinivasan, under order 7 rule
11 for rejection of the suit, the same is pending adjudication and listed on 01.02.2018. Mr.
T.C.A Srinivasan has also filed a writ petition bearing no. WP (C) 6226 OF 2016, wherein
South Delhi Municipal Corporation is Respondent No.1 and the same is listed on 01.09.2017.
It is to be noticed that next day i.e. 26.07.2017, despite being High Court date in the above-
mentioned appeal, I chose to stay at home as I was worried about the security of my minor
daughter and the house. I waited the whole day but no one came. On next day also I stayed
home, leaving all my professional commitment aside, and waited for the said person but he
again did not come.
On 28.07.2017 at …/… in the evening, while my maid went upstairs, she heard noise on the
roof and when open the door she saw at least 10 to 15 persons on the roof cutting the grill.
She immediately ran down stairs and informed me and my husband about the situation. We
both immediately went to upstairs and noticed that the unknown persons entered our roof
from the illegal door which has been illegally constructed by Mr. T.C.A Srinivasan, and were
using an electric gas cutter to cut the grill. I was shocked to notice that electricity to the gas
cutter was supplying from Mr. T.C.A Srinivasan house. I immediately tried to stop the
unknown persons from removing the grill and asked them to show their identity card. One of
the unknown persons introduced himself as junior engineer from Building Department, South
Delhi Municipal Corporation and told that he had the order to remove the grill, but when I
asked him to show the order he started misbehaving with me and my husband and said that he
was not required to show us any order or give any justification and told the other persons to
continue the work. Further, when I asked him to confirm his identity he bluntly denied on the
basis that he already informed us his identity and there was no point in showing his identity
Card. Shocked and surprised by such and adamant behavior, I called my lawyer and asked the
person calling himself Junior Engineer to talk to him but he did not listen to him also, so I
requested my lawyer to come to my house and meet the person claiming himself to be Junior
Engineer in person and enquire the real situation. In between I also dialed 100 but the police
refused to help on the ground that they could not stop the Junior Engineer as it was
departmental proceeding and they were not suppose to stop it.
After some time, when my lawyer came and asked the person claiming himself to Junior
Engineer to show his identity card, the person showed his office identity card, whereby I got
to know that his name was Mr. Pravin M Dhaware and posted as a junior engineer ( civil).
Further, when my lawyer asked him to show the order for demolition (grill) of the grill, he
failed to show any order and gave the same reply as given to me earlier that he was not bound
to show the order to any one and if there was none he was competent to take action against
the illegal construction, whereby my lawyer tried to inform him that the grill was only put for
the safety of the family as family living in the house contains only three members( as
mentioned earlier) and both the parents were working, hence the grill was put only to avoid
any contingency in their absence, but Mr. Pravin M Dhaware did not listen to him and kept
cutting the grill. My lawyer also told him that even if the grill was illegal, Mr. Pravin M
Dhaware was supposed to act as per the provisions enshrined in the Delhi Municipal
Corporation, which clearly prohibits the Department from taking any action without issuing
the show-cause notice (Section 343 of the Delhi Municipal Corporation Act) to which Mr.
Pravin M Dhaware had no answer. Mr. Pravin M Dhaware, even after failing to justify his
illegal deeds, did not stop the cutting of the grills and dared my advocate to challenge his acts
in Court. My advocate also informed the constables present at the spot (to provide protection
to the J.E) that the act of Mr. Pravin M Dhaware was illegal as he acting in sheer violation of
the provisions enshrined in the concerned act but the constables said that they were following
the orders to assist Mr. Pravin M Dhaware.
Furthermore, it is pertinent to mention that Mr. Pravin M Dhaware has acted in sheer
violation of the law. He has deliberately failed to issue any show cause notice and without
giving us any opportunity to put forth my justification for putting the grill on my roof as he
was well aware that in that case, he was not able to cut the grill as it would have made an
official record and had restrained him acting illegally. He has further failed to show any
order, whereby he was authorized to cut (remove) the grill.
It is pertinent to mention that Mr. Pravin M Dhaware has acted at the behest of T.C.A
Kalyani who is Mr. T.C.A Srinivasan and is an IAS officer. She, mis-using her stature and
rapport, has induced Mr. Pravin M Dhaware to take such an illegal action. It is to be noticed
that T.C.A Kalyani is holding the power of attorney of Mr. T.C.A Srinivasan and
representing him in all the above-said cases. She has threatened me to face the dire
consequences to face dire consequences. Moreover, she herself was not present at the spot but
her office staff was present during the whole incident, even her car was found to be parked
outside of the apartment. The whole incident is recorded in the CC Tv. Camera and the
recording has been saved as evidence, any time the same is required shall be furnished to you.
I say that Mr. Pravin M Dhaware and Ms.T.C.A Kalyani has connived together and acted
illegally misusing their official powers and cut the grill without any due process of law. Mr.
Pravin M Dhaware bothered to come at my door seek explanation or inform me about the
actions that he was going to cut the grill. He entered the roof through the illegal door
constructed by Mr. T.C.A Srinivasan and got the electric supply from his home only. He cut
the grill on the basis that the same was illegal but did not take any action against the illegal
door as the sole motive of his visit and cutting the grill was to allow Ms.T.C.A Kalyani to
access the roof. I do not seek negative equality but only due process of law. If the grill was
illegal, I should have been issued a statutory notice and if there was any order against me, I
must have been given access it. Such an illegal action has caused me a severe legal injury and
dented my faith in rule of law. If the people who are entrusted with such a heavy
responsibility to act in welfare of the public will start misusing their power for their personal
gain and illicit means, no one will believe in law and order.
In the interest of justice, it has been most humbly prayed to accept the present complaint and
initiate an investigation against Mr. Pravin M Dhaware and lodge an FIR accordingly.
Yours Sincerely
