THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE E.V.VENUGOPAL
CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.397 OF2014
O R D E R:
The present Criminal Revision Case is filed against the
order dated 09.01.2014 in C.F.No.2168 of 2013 on the file of the
learned Judicial Magistrate of First Class, at Peddapalli (for short,
"the trial Court").
2. No representation on behalf of the petitioner. Heard
Mr. Vizarath Ali, learned Assistant Public Prosecutor appearing
for respondent No.1 State and Mr. Srikanth, learned counsel
representing Mr. Alladi Ravinder, learned counsel for unofficial
respondent Nos.2 to 4.
3. There was no representation on behalf of the petitioner on
03.04.2024.Therefore, this Court directed the Registry to list the
matter under the caption, "for dismissal". Even today, there is no
representation on behalf of the petitioner inspite of listing the
matter under the caption, "for dismissal". Hence, this Court is
inclined to proceed with the matter on merits of the case as per
the decision of the Hon'ble Apex Court in "Bani Singh and others
Vs. State of Uttar Pradesh 1", wherein it was categorically held that
the High Court cannot dismiss any appeal for non-prosecution
simpliciterwithout examining the merits.
4. The averments of the complaint are that the
petitioner/complainant is the pattaholder of the land
admeasuring Ac 12.00 gts in Survey No.566/2 and Ac. 2.10 gts
in Survey No.571. Whileso, unofficial respondent Nos.2 to
4/accused created forged documents and occupied the said lands
belonging to the complainant. It is stated that the complainant
filed civil suit vide O.S.No.16 of 2008 before the learned Junior
Civil Judge, Manthani in respect of Ac 14.10 gts of land seeking
PerpetualInjunction and the said suit is kept pending. Basing on
the said facts the present crime is registered against the accused
for the offences punishable under Sections 120-B, 420, 468, 471,
447, 427m 506 r/w 34 of I.P.C.
5. The trial Court vide impugned order dismissed the
complaint filed by the petitioner by stating that no document is
filed by the petitioner to prove the allegations levelled against the
unofficial respondent Nos.2 to 4. Assailing the same, the present
Revision.
(1996) 4 Supreme Court Cases 720
6. As per the grounds raised in the Revision, the petitioner
contended that the trial Court failed to appreciate the material
available on record in proper perspective and erroneously passed
the impugned order. Therefore, the petitioner seeks to set aside
the impugned order.
7. Learned Assistant Public Prosecutor and learned counsel
for unofficial respondent Nos.2 to 4 submitted that the trial Court
after careful scrutiny of the oral and documentary evidence on
record, rightly passed the impugned order and the interference of
this Court is unwarranted. Therefore, learned counsel seek to
dismiss the Revision.
8. A perusal of the record shows that the suit filed by the
petitioner herein vide O.S.No.16 of 2008 on the file of the learned
Additional Junior Civil Judge-cum-Judicial Magistrate of First
Class, at Manthani seeking Perpetual Injunction is dismissed
vide judgment dated 14.08.2019. Therefore, there is no cogent
and convincing evidence to prove that unofficial respondent Nos.2
to 4 have committed the offences punishable under Sections 120-
B, 420, 468, 471, 447, 427m 506 r/w 34 of I.P.C. Hence, I donot
find any perversity or irregularity in the impugned order and the
Revision is liable to be dismissed.
9. Accordingly, the Criminal Revision Case is dismissed.
Miscellaneous Petitions, pending if any, shall stand closed.
