Metropolitan Magistrate (MM) Ashok Kumar issued summonses to Ansal Properties and Infrastructure Ltd CMD Sushil Ansal and Ansal Buildwell Ltd's MD Gopal Ansal on a complaint by a US-based woman Sunila Wadhawan.
In her complaint to the court, the expatriate Indian woman has alleged that the two brothers had "misappropriated" the commission amount of Rs 11.80 lakh to be paid to her husband.
"I have perused the complaint and pre-summoning evidence led by the complainant. I hereby take cognisance against the accused persons... Accused persons be summoned for May 15," said MM Kumar.
Besides Sushil and Gopal Ansal, the court has also issued summonses against Ansal Buildwell Ltd's directors R L Gupta, Gaurav Mohan Puri and Subhash Verma, who were named as accused in the complaint. Ansal Properties and Infrastructure Ltd and Ansal Buildwell Ltd have been also named as accused in the case.
In the complaint filed through advocate Tarun Rana, Sunila Wadhawan said her husband Ashok Wadhawan was appointed as authorised agent on commission basis for marketing and selling properties of Ansal Properties and Industries Ltd, which was later divided into Ansal Properties and Infrastructure Ltd and Ansal Buildwell Ltd.
She said the Ansal brothers had assured her husband that payments would be made to him and in 1996, the firm launched a project by the name of Sushant Lok-III at Gurgaon in Haryana. (More) PTI ABA RKS
