Dear Sir,
By profession I am a secondary school teacher(govt.of Assam)residing in Karimganj
district.That sir,in Jan'2009 two person looking very smart(introduced themselves as engineer from Idea Cellular) came to our place and asked in a professional manner whether I have any land measuring 2500 sq ft. to setup mobile tower and in return I will get not only monthly rent but also two nos of Gr IV employee will be provided. As I don't have any land they left. But on hearing the offer one of my friend's (business person) customer residing at Hailakandi Dist. who became very much interested and requested me to introduced him with them.I thought if somebody get benifitted with a little help I shouldn't
loose anything. So after a few days when the so called engineer visitted once again I told them the willingness of the person about set up of a tower and consequently they visitted the site of that person, of course I was with them for identification of the place. After that both the parties
discussed the terms and condition and on march'2009 an agreement paper was signed between them where I put my signature as a witness. After that as per my knowledge he was in touch with that engineers becouse
once I was contacted and asked the engineer about the position of agreement, he replied that it is the matter of the party concerned and not me. So I dont made further enquiry till then.
That Sir, few days ago I was reported by my friend taht a FIR has been submitted to the Police Station(Hailakandi Dist.) against mysef and my friend describing we have taken 1 lakh from him to setup tower and cheated him. On receiving the message I am verry much surprised and mentally disturbed as I am a techer and a well known in my locality.If police person arrest me it is matter of prestige concern for me and my service. In this circumstances what should I do in a legal way Please advise me. Thanks.
THANKACHAN V P

There are three options before you.
1. You can approach the High Court to quash FIR lodged against you.But you are signatory in the agreement so HC may be reluctant quash the FIR.
2.File anticipatory bail application before the Sessions Court.
3. Surrender before the Magistrate court and apply for bail.

Dear Sir,
Many many thanks for your advice. I like to mention here that the original agreement
paper( 2 copies) where I put my signature as witness was taken away by the cheater saying
that after due approval of the company they will send 1 copy to the party concerned.
so with the help of a xerox copy kept,the FIR lodged. Is it so effective ?
