Complaint against HMT Ltd.

Published - November 19, 2017 09:12 pm IST

Eight senior officials of HMT Ltd. have been booked by the Jalahalli police after a businessman filed a complaint alleging that the Public Sector Undertaking failed to pay his dues amounting to around ₹16 lakh for supply of raw material.

D. Manokaran, owner of Sri Shakti Industries located in Rajajinagar, approached the 7th Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate on Wednesday, which issued a direction to the Jalahalli police to file an FIR. The court has directed the police to investigate the matter and submit a report within three months from the date of registration of the FIR.

In his complaint, Mr. Manokaran said that he had supplied raw material to HMT in 2015 for which the company owed ₹18,11,196. But he was given a cheque for only ₹2,22,194 on December 4, 2015.

Though his firm had served notices to HMT, the industrialist claimed that he received neither a reply nor the balance amount.
