Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner in Crl. M.C. No. 3570/97 and the learned counsel appearing for the additional respondent, namely, Sakkir Hussain and also the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner in Crl. M.C. No. 3408 of 1997. I examined the submission of the learned counsel as well as the papers available before me. Their arguments as well as the papers available would disclose that a Maruthi Car bearing No. M.F.C. 8108 originally was owned by one Pushpa Raheja of Bombay who sold the same on 8-1-97 to one Biju who is the petitioner in Crl. M.C. No. 3408 of 1997. Biju in turn sold the vehicle to one Sakkir Hussain who has been brought on record as additional respondent in both these petitions. Sakkir then sold the vehicle to one Joseph on 22-1-1997. Thereafter, the vehicle was sold by Joseph to Moideen the petitioner in Cril. M.C. No. 3570 on 12-2-1997. As there arose some dispute between the vendors and purchased with reference to the sale and purchase of the said vehicle, a complaint was given by Biju in Pavaratty Police Station wherein a case was registered in Crime No. 109/97 under section 420 read with 34, I.P.C. against Sakkir Hussain
