          antecedent and the informant alleges that 1.80 decimal of

          of a registered sale deed and in the said Khata three

          different purchasers had also purchased land as detailed in

          the FIR. It is further alleged that Sadan Singh, Amit Kumar,

          Ram Ratan Kumar (petitioner) and Anuj Paswan were

          instrumental in getting the sale deed executed with respect

          to the land purchased by his wife and other purchasers. It is

          next alleged that subsequently the informant came to know

          cheated him.

          nor is a witness on the sale deed and allegation of abuse and

          assault is general land omnibus in nature and the said

          allegation has been alleged in backdrop of a land dispute. It

          is also submitted that sale deed in favour of the wife of the

          informant was executed by Anuj Paswan with whom

          appellant has no concern or relation.

                       5. The learned Special P. P. as well as the learned

          counsel appearing on behalf of the informant opposes the

          general and omnibus in nature and appellant neither

          executed the sale deed nor is a witness on the sale deed.
