Gujarat High Court today stayed the investigation of a cheating case registered by Kamrej police in Surat against two sons of former MP and state BJP leader Vithhal Radadia.
Justice Paresh Upadhyay directed the police to stay the probe and kept the next hearing on June 3.
Lalit Radadia, his brother Jayesh and two others have filed a petition in the high court seeking direction to quash and set aside an FIR filed against them at Kamrej police under different sections of the IPC, including 420 (cheating) and 406 (criminal misappropriation of property entrusted to someone).
Jayesh, a former Congress MLA from Jetpur, has recently resigned from the party and as an MLA, along with his father Vitthal Radadia, and joined BJP.
Vitthal Radadia is now contesting as BJP candidate from Porbandar Lok Sabha seat and Jayesh has been nominated for Jetpur Assembly seat for which bypoll has been scheduled to be held on June 2.
One Dinesh Kakadia filed an FIR claiming that he had bought a plot in Sai Samarth Society in 2005 near Kamrej area of Surat, along with 62 other people, who had already paid instalments for the ownership of plots by 2007.
"But, when we asked for the possession of those plots to construct house on it we were driven away by the organisers, which included Lalit and Jayesh Radadia," said Kakadia in his complaint.
However, Radadia brothers have, in their petition before the high court filed through advocate A D Shah, contended that no illegality was committed by them and all the real owners of the plots have been granted possession.
