Ganesh Uttam Sathe vs Uttam Sahebrao Sathe — 67/2025

Case Summary: 67/2025 - Ganesh Uttam Sathe v. Uttam Sahebrao Sathe The court rejected the petitioner's application seeking to register a criminal case against eight accused parties for alleged cheating and forgery involving an agricultural property gift deed. The petitioner, claiming to be the biological son of Accused No. 1, alleged that his father fraudulently gifted ancestral property to Accused No. 2 (using a similar name) by forging identity documents, and that subsequent sales deprived him of his rightful share. The court found the gift deed legally executed and subsequent sales prima facie valid, noting that Accused No. 2 is the considered son (not biological son) to whom the father voluntarily gifted his partition-received property. The dispute was characterized as civil in nature—involving property rights rather than criminal fraud—and the court directed the petitioner to pursue an appropriate civil suit instead.
