HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE FARJAND ALI
Order
06/01/2022
Mr. Nitranjan Singh, learned counsel has put in appearance
on behalf of the complainant-respondent No. 5. Thus, service is
complete.
Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the
allegations leveled in the FIR are patently absurd and highly
improbable. The dispute in between the parties has been
essentially of civil nature but an attempt has been made to give it
a colour of criminal prosecution. Learned counsel submits that
there was transaction dispute between the parties regarding the
premises. When the ejectment proceedings under the Rent Control
Act was initiated and decreed in favour of the petitioner and
accordingly a warrant of vacating the premises was issued, the
complainant-respondent filed a civil suit on 17.02.2021, praying
therein to restrain the petitioners from not misusing the
document. He, thus, prays that the dispute in between the parties
is essentially of a civil nature and therefore, the continuance of
(2 of 2) [CRLMP-1750/2021]
the proceeding pursuant to the FIR impugned, would tantamount
to abuse of process of law.
Per contra, learned Public Prosecutor and learned counsel for
the complainant-respondent fervently urged that there are
allegations against the accused-petitioners regarding fabrication of
false document, the judgment and warrant of the Rent Tribunal
has been obtained on the strength of a false document, therefore,
the matter requires investigation.
Heard.
Gone through the content of the FIR impugned, the papers
regarding Rent Tribunal as well as the civil suit filed by the
complainant-respondent. After going through the entire material
available on record, this Court is of the firm view that the matter
requires serious consideration.
Learned Public Prosecutor is directed to call for the case
diary in the matter. He shall also instruct the concerned
Investigating Officer to complete the investigation till the next
date of hearing.
List the matter after four weeks.
In the meanwhile, the petitioners shall not be arrested.
