Respected Sir,
The contents of the present complaint are as follows:
1. The Complainant is constrained to institute this
complaint against the above-named Accused for having perpetrated the offenses of deceit, fraudulence, and criminal breach of fiduciary duty. The Accused is culpable for coercing and manipulating the Complainant into procuring the latest Apple iPhone 13 Pro model at a substantial markdown from the Accused’s friend’s establishment, Mobile House, located in Sector-18, Noida, where only Apple-sanctioned merchandise is retailed, thereby defrauding the Complainant of Rs. 90,000/- (Rupees Ninety Thousand Only). 2. The Accused person meet with the Complainant during their tenure of employment at the aforementioned office and established a rapport with the Complainant. Subsequently, the Accused informed the Complainant that her friend was employed at an establishment named Mobile House, situated in Sector-18, Noida, where only Apple- endorsed products were retailed, and exerted pressure on the Complainant to acquire the latest Apple iPhone 13 Pro model, as it was obtainable at a considerable reduction in price and that this proposition was only valid for one day. Enticed by the offer and taking into account the fact that the Complainant and Accused were colleagues, the Complainant placed their trust in the Accused and requested her to furnish him with the aforementioned model of Apple iPhone 13 Pro. 3. The Accused persons then stipulated an advance payment of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand Only) from the Complainant to reserve the pertinent iPhone model to capitalize on the aforementioned offer, thereby leaving the Complainant with no alternative but to remit to the Accused Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand Only) in legal tender on 15.12.2021 for the specified purpose. It is germane to note here that the Complainant gave the sum of Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand Only) to the Accused during their operational hours at the above- referenced office. 4. After obtaining the sum of Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand Only) from the Complainant, the Accused person, in an attempt to gain the Complainant’s trust, assured that she would retrieve the aforementioned iPhone 13 Pro model from her friend’s establishment, Mobile House, located in Sector-18, Noida, and would deliver it to the Complainant within a week. However, after a fortnight had elapsed since the remittance of the initial reservation fee of Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand Only), the Complainant inquired about the delivery of the said phone, to which the Accused individual endeavored to circumvent the Complainant’s inquiry and informed him that if he harbored doubts about the transaction, he could rescind it, but the aforementioned reservation fee would not be reimbursed as it had already been remitted to the store. It is relevant to state here that the Complainant did not receive any payment receipts from the Accused person for the reservation of the above- mentioned phone if the amount had indeed been remitted to the store against the reservation of said phone. 5. One month subsequent to the remittance of the reservation fee of Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand Only), the Accused person informed the Complainant that the aforementioned phone was once again available in stock and would be released by the store Mobile House, located in Sector-18, Noida, only upon receipt of the full and final payment of the invoice amount, i.e., Rs.80,000/- (Rupees Eighty Thousand Only). However, upon hearing this, the Complainant inquired as to why this was the market price and that there was no reduction of Rs. 15,000/- as initially promised by the Accused. In response, the Accused person assured the Complainant that the aforementioned discounted amount would be refunded to the Complainant’s bank account only after receipt of the full and final payment. Furthermore, the Accused person also threatened the Complainant that if he now wished to proceed with the aforementioned offer, his initial reservation fee of Rs.10,000/- would be forfeited and the Complainant would receive nothing in return. 6. Impelled by the malevolent intent and fraudulent promises and assurances, the Complainant, bereft of any other recourse, accompanied the Accused to Mobile House, located in Sector-18, Noida, for the remittance of Rs. 80,000/-, but to their utter dismay, upon arriving at the store, the Complainant was informed that the aforementioned phone was not present in stock and could be collected the following day. At this juncture, the Accused person instructed the Complainant to remit the full payment and that she, the Accused Person, would collect the aforementioned phone along with bills from the said store the following day and deliver it to the Complainant during their office hours at the office. Left with no alternative, the Complainant proceeded to remit the full invoice amount of Rs. 80,000/- (Rupees Eighty Thousand Only) from their bank account bearing no. 071901528804 on 28.12.2012 in favor of ICICI Bank at Mobile House, located in Sector-18, Noida. 7. The Complainant was taken aback and astounded when the Accused person refused to relinquish possession of the aforementioned phone to the Complainant and also menaced the Complainant with a spurious lawsuit and declined to refund the money remitted by the Complainant. 8. It is pertinent to state that the Accused person harbored malevolent and dishonest intentions from the outset, under the false guise of extracting the Complainant’s hard-earned money. The nefarious and fraudulent actions of the Accused were perpetrated for the sole purpose of deceit, fraud, and criminal breach of trust, and are encompassed within the purview of cognizable offenses under the Indian Penal Code. It has been established in a plethora of judgments by the Hon’ble Supreme Court, and specifically in Lalita Kumar vs State of UP, that in cognizable offenses, the registration of a First Information Report is mandatory under Section 154 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. 9. The infraction has been perpetrated within the territorial jurisdiction of the Police Station, Noida Sector-20, Gautam Budh Nagar, Uttar Pradesh, wherein the aforementioned transaction between the Complainant and the Accused individual transpired within the jurisdiction of the Police Station, Noida Sector-20, Gautam Budh Nagar, Uttar Pradesh. 10.It is therefore requested that an FIR in the instant case be registered against the accused person and investigation be undertaken forthwith.
