Holding that investigation into the claim and allegations was still going on, Additional Sessions Judge Pulastya Pramachala dismissed the revision petition saying, "Under the garb of application moved before trial court seeking return of the amount, complainant cannot be allowed to bypass such judicial process because it is still to be decided who is the rightful claimant of the amount."
Observing that no specific law provisions were cited by Singh, the court wondered as under which law provision such directions can be given by the court, for return of amount to him.
It said just because the amount was transferred from the account of company run by the complainant, the court cannot assume that such amount is liable to be returned to him.
