Copy of the court order:CHANDIGARH: The Punjab and Haryana high court on Wednesday stayed the arrest of Gurgaon based developer and his family members in a case of allegedly grabbing 151 acres of land from farmers in Gurgaon district and selling it to investors.The court passed these orders while taking up a petition filed by directors of real estate company.During the hearing, counsel for petitioner argued developer had a licence to develop a colony and was selling the plots after obtaining the licence from the concerned departments. He also informed the court two plots were sold to the complainant, who paid 10% of the total amount.The counsel also said petitioner had resigned as a director of the company in February 2010. "Since the petitioner company has a licence, and the complainant is aggrieved that his 10% amount has not been given back, initiation of criminal proceedings for recovery of the amount against the petitioners, who are not even directors now, is an abuse of process of law," the counsel argued.The court asked the Haryana government to file their reply to the petitioners' contentions within 15 days. Two FIRs are registered with Gurgaon police in this case. The first FIR (No. 674) was lodged on October 3 at Sadar police station on the order of a local court after a complaint by Mewa Singh. The second FIR (No. 221) was registered against the duo on allegations of fraudulently grabbing 151 acres from farmers and later selling it to investors.They were charged for cheating and criminal conspiracy under sections 420 and 120-B of the IPC.
