R.

3.    I state that the company was initially formed for the aim of Car Leasing and slowly started investment Scheme in it. For the investment Scheme, they advertised in the Magazines and circulated pamphlets  with attractive promises. Initially they were also paying the Higher returns and the promise was to pay for 5 years and on completion of 5 years, the deposit amount would be returned. Latter they increased the monthly returns  and promised to return the deposit amount by 50%. There after further hiked the monthly return and said that no amount would be paid on completion of 5 years.

4.       Initially, the payment of monthly returns were made through post dated local Cheques every six monthly. There after the Directors commences many companies and formed a CITY Group. The names of the company are

i.)         City Limouzines (India) Ltd

ii.)        City Real Com Ltd

iii.)       City Co-op Credit Society Ltd

iv.)       City Communications Ltd

v.)        City Money Ltd

vi.)       City Trading L.L.C. (U.S.A)

      vii.)      City Airlines Pvt Ltd.

viii.)     City Resorts

ix.)       City Cine Vision Pvt Ltd.

      x.)        City Hospitalities Ltd.

xi.)       City Foundation

      xii.)      Chaman Automobiles( An H.P Outlet)

xiii.)     Bharatratna Dr. Babasahieb Amedkar Pratishthan

xiv.)      Bharatratna Dr. Babasahieb Amedkar Pratishthan Co-op Credit Society Ltd

And collected very huge amount from general public. The Directors then slowly had transferred funds from one company to another and started sending cheques from Bombay and their regional offices. They have a preplanned move to cheat the investors and defraud, there misappropriating multi crore rupees. The Directors started sending cheques only for three months advance and slowly delaying the dispatch of cheques.

5.       While so, from 12-8-2009, the Cheques on depositing for collection started bouncing for insufficient funds. On telephonic query, the staff and the Directors were misleading the investors by saying that there is some audit going on and hence there is some delay. They also even sending SMS to the Cell Phones to delay depositing Cheques.

6.       I submit that after this number of FIR’s were lodged  by investors at difference place before EOW’s or at concerned local police stations against Company and its directors i.e  17 Cases in Maharashtra (Mumbai, Thane, Pune Stara) CR Nos.74/2007 (EOW),  CR No.55/2009, CR No.829/2010,  CR No.469/2009,  CR No.28/2010,   CR No.401/2009, CR No.257/2009, CR No.368/2009,  CR No.24/2010,  CR No.46/2010, CR No.486/2009, CR No.347/2009, CR NO.23/2010,  CR No. No.95/2010, CR No.205/2010,  FIR No.347/2009, CR No.687/2006, Two case registered at Bangalore FIR No.165/2009, CR No.173/2010, Two cases registered at Chennai FIR No.456/2009, CR No.194/2010 , Two cases at Andhra Pradesh (Hyderabad ) FIR No.299/2009, CR No.258/2009, Delhi 107 cases registered CC No.7543/10, 232/11, 232/12, 233/11, 234/11, 227/11, 224/11, 223/11, 222/11,220/11, 219/11, 218/11, 213/11, 212/11, 211/11, 210/11, 209/11, 208/11, 207/11, 407/11, 471/11, 472/11, 473/11, 474/11, 475/11, 476/11, 477/11, 478/11, 479/11, 480/11, 481/11, 482/11, 483/11, 484/11, 484A/11, 455/11, 456/11, 457/11, 458/11, 459/11, 460/11, 461/11, 462/11, 463/11, 464/11, 465/11, 466/11, 467/11, 468/11, 469/11, 441/11, 445/11, 446/11, 447/11, 448/11, 449/11, 450/11, 451/11, 452/11, 522/11, 528/11, 590/11, 591/11, 592/11, 593/11, 595/11, 596/11, 597/11, 598/11, 599/11, 600/11, 602/11, 603/11, 604/11, 605/11, 608/11, 609/11, 610/11, 611/11, 612/11, 667/11, 668/11, 799/11, 800/11, 802/11, 805/11, 898/11, 920/11, 921/11, 922/11, 923/11, 926/11, 927/11, 30/13, 31/13, 673/13, 677/13, 654/13, 899/13, 847/13, 815/13, 925/13, 919/13, 936/13, 566/13,  FIR Nos.255/2009, 54/2010 and Two cases at Rajasthan (Sikar) FIR Nos. 219/2012 & 40/2010.

7.       I state that there are number of complaint’s raised that to estimated more than 30,000 which is just tagged with above Criminal complaints or FIR’s. This all happened in August 2009 and today 7 years passed , Number of Writ petitions, Criminal original petitions, Company petitions and Company applications were filed. I states that Company directors have filed more than 100 cases all over India, to come out from the clutches of Law and in some cases they got success also because other side sufferers were poor investors in which maximum percentages are ex servicemen, retired peoples, who do not have sufficient means to hire the services of  costly Advocates, depending on Government Advocates to defend the cases.

8.       I state that Company application was filed before Hon’ble High Court of Judicature at Bombay for Liquidation, vide Company petition No. 234 of 2010 for against City limouzines (India) Limited, In this company petition Hon’ble High Court of Bombay appointed official liquidator to liquidate the company by its order dated 03-12-2010  and another Company petition n. 326 of 2010 against City Realcom Ltd. In, this company petition Hon’ble High Court of Bombay appointed official liquidator to liquidate the company by its order dated 09-03-2012. Further investors approached Hon,ble High Court for direction for liquidating the assets of Companies and disposed the investors claims.

9.       I state that after this also company directors have filed different cases either for quashing FIR or others either in form of writ petitions or Criminal Original applications, but some how curtailed by Court of Law.  In these Company petition nos. 234 & 326 of 2010 ,official liquidator report no. 126 of 2013/Liqn/IV was filed before Hon’ble High Court of Bombay and Hon’ble High Court allowed  the prayer clause (c) and (d), which was for invite claims of the workers/ creditors accordingly Notices was published by official liquidator in different language news papers on 30 March 2013 and last date was mentioned to submit claims was 30 Apr 2013. Accordingly Investors submitted their claims to official liquidators office . Some investors have received Admission notices with calculation sheet, but it was done randomly not serially, reasons best known to official liquidator office. Three years and Eight Months time passed after the last date of receiving claims, but till date admission process is not completed. Whenever any investors asks either by going personally or through telephone there replies is very astonishing that there is no money.

10.     I state that in above cases  accused  Sayeed Mohd. Masood @ Sayyed M. Masud filed transfer petition before Hon’ble Supreme Court  CrlMp no. 3182-3197 / 2015 & 3198-3213/ 2015 in  Transfer Petition(s) Criminal No (s). 425-440/2014  and by an order of Hon’ble Supreme Court these all connected matters from all Over India Pending in Maharshtra, Karnataka, Tamilnadu, Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan and New Delhi transferred to PMLA  Court for Trial by its order dated 11 May 2015.

11.     I state that in this case huge amount has been seized by different agencies involved in investigation.  CA Even on Hon’ble High Court of Bombay on  23 Sep 2013 in Company application 600 of 2012 in Company petition no. 234 of 2010 order was passed to hand over 180 Crores which is in the custody of EOW Mumbai.  There are huge number of cases has been filed at different courts of law. Poor investors are suffering , just running from one pillar to another pillar but no remedy to their painful journey, whereas Directors are enjoying due to the shield of  some officials.

12. I state that that as per times of India, Mumbai Edition news dated 15/04/2014 Enforcement Directorate has attached fly-by-night operator City Group's properties and cash totaling Rs 133.3 crore in the last four years, including Rs 6 crore in Switzerland banks. The latest attachment, both movable and immovable properties worth Rs 6.48 Crore, was done recently, officials said. I further states that  on 30-6-2015, Times of India , Mumbai Edition , page-7, as per this news the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on 29-6-2015 (Monday) seized Rs.150 Crores that was parked in two bank accounts in Singapore by S M Masood, Chairmen of two City Group Firms- City Limouzines and City Realcom. I further states

          13.     I further states that there are other places also cash and properties seized by EOW’s.

14.     I state that I have invested a total of Rs………………….. (……………………………………………………………………………………) Vide File No…………………….at Chennai / Delhi/ Mumbai/ Bangalore/ Hyderabad/ Jaipur  in City Limouzines  (India) Ltd and City Realcom Ltd.

15. I state that number of company applications in these cases has been filed frequently for direction, though directions issued by Hon’ble Courts of Law, which is not feasible to write here, because it will fill only papers here. Adjudication of claims have been started as per CA 583 of 2012, dated 03-09-2014 but only few claimant investors have recived admission notice in the period of 3 years 08 months and Now information coming from some investors from Bombay, who visited official liquidator office that it will take another two years time to complete admission process.
