If any complaint is filed police have to investigate the complaint 

 

you can take the defence that police have already investigated the complaint earlier and filed closure report

1) Even if a "C" summary report is filed and no appeal is made, a new police complaint can be filed, 

 

2) 

A new complaint can be filed if there is fresh evidence or new facts that were not available during the initial investigation. 





3) don’t have any judgment

C report is filed by police and Collector has also rejected land grabbing complaint. Approach HC of Gujrat with all the record and seek quash of all complaints. HC will quash all complaints.

The economic offences wing will deal with the complaint separately and the closure report given by police in the FIR will not have any impact to the investigation done by the economic offences wing police.

However if they still proceed with the complaint and register FIR then the earlier closure report as well as the collector's closure of the complaint will come to your rescue during the trial proceedings.

Since the FIR got a C Summary in 2011 (uncontested) and the Collector rejected the land-grabbing complaint in 2021, the Eco Cell shouldn’t investigate the same issue again.


What to Do:

  1. Reply to Eco Cell – State that:

    • FIR was closed with C Summary in 2011.

    • Civil case (since 2008) is still pending.

    • Collector rejected the complaint in 2021.

  2. Legal Action – If harassment continues, file a writ petition in Gujarat HC citing:

    • Bhajan Lal (1992) – Police can't reopen closed cases without fresh evidence.

    • T.T. Antony (2001) – Fresh FIR on the same matter is not allowed.

Submit a reply to Eco Cell first. If needed, move to High Court for quashing.

Thank you. Shubham Goyal.

 A preliminary inquiry can be conducted by the ECO Cell, but since the "C" Summary was granted in 2011 and the Collector rejected the land-grabbing complaint in 2021, reopening the case is unlikely without fresh evidence. The Gujarat High Court had earlier questioned police action before filing an FIR, and no one has challenged the "C" Summary in court. You can submit a written response to the ECO Cell citing these facts and request closure of the matter. If harassment continues, you may approach the Gujarat High Court for relief. The Supreme Court in State of Haryana v. Bhajan Lal (1992 SCC (Cri) 426) has ruled that reopening closed cases without fresh evidence is an abuse of legal process. If needed, a writ petition can be filed to quash any further proceedings.

- Economic offences wing is a specialized Unit of the Police that exclusively investigates economic crimes involving large scale frauds invoking huge money with wide ramifications

- Hence, the eco can investigate the matter even the police has already filed its report , however as collector already reject this matter then eco will not entertain it afresh.
