On the<br \/>\nsaid complaint, the Court below ordered issuance of process against<br \/>\nthe petitioners. Being aggrieved by the same, the petitioners have<br \/>\npreferred the present petition u\/s.482 of the Cr.P.C.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.\tHeard<br \/>\nlearned counsel for the parties and perused the documents on record.<br \/>\nBy filing the impugned complaint in May 2001, respondent no.2 has<br \/>\nprayed to take necessary appropriate action against the petitioners<br \/>\nfor an offence alleged to have been committed before about twenty<br \/>\neight (28) years, i.e. alleged forging of a sale document dated<br \/>\n20.12.1973. It may be noted that a suit being Special Civil Suit<br \/>\nNo.491\/1983 was filed between the parties, which came to be disposed<br \/>\nof in the year 1998 whereby, the suit was decreed in favour of the<br \/>\npetitioners.\n<\/p>\n<p>4.<br \/>\nIn State<br \/>\nof Haryana and others v. Bhajanlal and others, AIR 1992 SC 604 [1992<br \/>\nSupp (1) SCC 335],<br \/>\nthe Apex Court held as under:\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The<br \/>\nfollowing categories of cases can be stated by way of illustration<br \/>\nwherein the extraordinary power under Article 226 or the inherent<br \/>\npowers under Section 482 CrPC can be exercised by the High Court<br \/>\neither to prevent abuse of the process of any court or otherwise to<br \/>\nsecure the ends of justice, though it may not be possible to lay down<br \/>\nany precise, clearly defined and sufficiently channelized and<br \/>\ninflexible guidelines or rigid formula and to give an exhaustive list<br \/>\nof myriad kinds of cases wherein such power should be exercised;\n<\/p>\n<p>\tWhere<br \/>\n\tthe allegations made in the first information report or the<br \/>\n\tcomplaint, even if they are taken at their face value and accepted<br \/>\n\tin their entirety do not prima facie constitute any offence or make<br \/>\n\tout a case against the accused.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tWhere<br \/>\n\tthe allegations in the FIR do not disclose a cognizable offence,<br \/>\n\tjustifying an investigation by police officers under Section 156(1)<br \/>\n\tof the Code except under an order of a Magistrate within the purview<br \/>\n\tof Section 155(2) of the Code.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tWhere<br \/>\n\tthe uncontroverted allegations made in the FIR or complaint and the<br \/>\n\tevidence collected in support of the same do not disclose the<br \/>\n\tcommission of any offence and make out a case against the accused.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tWhere,<br \/>\n\tthe allegations in the FIR do not constitute a cognizable offence<br \/>\n\tbut constitute only a non-cognizable offence, no investigation is<br \/>\n\tpermitted by a police officer without an order of a Magistrate as<br \/>\n\tcontemplated under Section 155(2) of the Code.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tWhere<br \/>\n\tthe allegations made in the FIR or complaint are so absurd and<br \/>\n\tinherently improbable on the basis of which no prudent persons can<br \/>\n\tever reach a just conclusion that there is sufficient grounds for<br \/>\n\tproceeding against the accused.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tWhere<br \/>\n\tthere is an express legal bar engrafted in any of the provisions of<br \/>\n\tthe Code or the concerned Act (under which a criminal proceeding is<br \/>\n\tinstituted) to the institution and continuance of the proceedings<br \/>\n\tand\/or where there is a specific provisions in the Code or the<br \/>\n\tconcerned Act, providing efficacious redress for the grievance of<br \/>\n\tthe aggrieved party.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tWhere<br \/>\n\ta criminal proceeding is manifestly attended with mala fide and\/or<br \/>\n\twhere the proceeding is maliciously instituted with an ulterior<br \/>\n\tmotive for wreaking vengeance on the accused and with a view to<br \/>\n\tspite him due to private and personal grudge.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>5.\tConsidering<br \/>\nthe long delay of about 28 years in filing the complaint and the<br \/>\nprinciple laid down in Bhajanlal&#8217;s case (supra), I find this a<br \/>\nfit case wherein the inherent powers of this Court could be exercised<br \/>\nin favour of the petitioners.\n<\/p>\n<p>6.\tFor<br \/>\nthe foregoing reasons, the petition is allowed. The complaint being<br \/>\nCriminal Case No.55\/2001 filed before the Court of learned J.M.F.C.,<br \/>\nAnkleshwar and the consequential proceedings initiated thereto are<br \/>\nquashed and set aside.
