Babita Man, who claims herself to be an educated lady alleges that there is Junior High School named as Gopal Shankar Janak Dulari Junior High School, Sakraur, Paraspur, Gonda and applicant allegedly informed that the said school would be very soon a Govt. aided institution and believing the said fact complainant started working as Principal and teacher since 2007 in the school. Applicant allegedly informed that there is a case of school going on and if the construction of boundary and building standard is meet out the complainant would be a Govt. Teacher and the institution would also be a Govt. Institution, thereafter complainant by borrowing money from her relatives and Mayka gave 26 lacs to Sudhakar Pandey the applicant. The school was constructed but no salary was being paid and the hard-earned money was usurped. It is further alleged that on 14.08.2022, complainant was called for preparation of function of 15th August, then some intoxicant was added in the water and the misdeed was committed and when the objection was raised, she was threatened for life. The copy of First Information Report lodged as Case Crime No. 224/2022, is being filed herewith and marked as Annexure No. 3, to this affidavit.

10.            



That the incident is alleged to be on14 August, 2022 and the First Information Report was lodged on 31.08.2022, which is after 17 days without there being any plausible explanation.

11.             That the First Information Report contains highly improbable and absurd story as no details of 26 lacs. allegedly given to the applicant has been set out in the First Information Report and the source of such huge amount including when it was withdrawn/managed through relatives of complainant including the dates when it was allegedly given has not mentioned in the First Information Report, similarly during course of investigation first informant is silent that in what manner the alleged money was entrusted.

12.             That there is no medical report to demonstrate/corroborate the prosecution story with respect to commission of offence U/s- 328 IPC i.e. administrating intoxicant. Further the allegation of resistance after administration of intoxicant also does not appeal to the common prudence.

13.             That the prosecution story that opposite party no. 2 was employed in applicant's school since 2007 without any salary and she herself has paid Rs. 26 lacs and continued to believe that one day she would get the Govt. Job is again a purely hypothetical and unbelievable. It is relevant to mention herein that Smt. Babita Man has claimed herself to be Principal and teacher in Gopal Shankar Janak Dulari Junior High School, Sakraur, Paraspur, Gonda but the attendance registers of Academic Session-2020-21, 2021- 22, 2022-23 clearly exhibits that Smt.

16.             That applicant has nothing to do with the committee of Management Gopal Shankar Janak Dulari Junior High School, Sakraur, Paraspur, Gonda, which is purely a private school, thus giving of 26 lacs within span of 15 years is completely unbelievable.

17.             That a complaint was made by applicant against working of husband of complainant namely Ashok Man in relation to his forged appointment in Balak Bhagwan Laghu Madhyamik Vidyalaya, Vishunpur, Sangam Bhattpurwa, Shiksha Kshetra Itiyathok, District Gonda on 10.08.2022 by submitting applications before District Magistrate, Gonda and District Basic Education Officer, Gonda respectively, which made complainant and her husband annoyed, consequently the impugned First Information Report had seen the light of the day as a counter-blast/in retaliation to the application filed by applicant.

22.             That statement of prosecutrix was recorded / 164 Cr.P.C. on 08.09.2022 but same is bundle of lies without any corroboration of material document. The Copy of Statement of prosecutrix recorded U/s 164 CC is being filed herewith and marked as Annexure No.11 to this affidavit.

23.            



That the statement of husband of Prosecutrix namely Ashok pal was recorded U/s- 161 Cr.PC. and he has stated that Babita is not attending the school since 2018 thus the prosecution story as set out in the First Information Report does not inspire confidence.
