father Anthony @ Anthony Pillai for the purpose of cheating the petitioners.
Apart from the above, it is submitted that the respondent/plaintiff has
fraudulently and dishonestly used the said false document as a genuine one to
make the Trial Court to believe that he is the cultivating tenant, thereby,
defrauded the court.
5. Therefore, the petitioners/defendants filed I.A.No.4 of 2022 under
Section 340 of the Criminal Procedure Code, 1973 seeking the Additional
District Munsif Court, Manaparrai to conduct the enquiry into the offences
committed by the respondent/plaintiff, record a finding to that effect, make a

therefore submitted that in view of the above, it can be inferred that the Trial
Court has decided to pass order in I.A.No.4 of 2022 along with the Judgment
and Decree in O.S.No.132 of 2023.
8. The learned counsel for the petitioners/defendants would submit that
the suit has been filed on the basis of Lease Deed dated 19.04.2021 and
therefore, only after the Trial Court passes order in I.A.No.4 of 2022 and takes
a decision regarding the genuineness of the Lease Deed dated 19.04.2021, the
petitioners/defendant may be in a position to decide their further course of
action in the above suit. Therefore, the petitioners/defendants were constrained
to approach this Court for speedy disposal of I.A.No.4 of 2022.
9. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the learned
Additional District Munsif, Manapparai is directed to dispose I.A.No.4 of 2022
