CORAM:- HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER<\/p>\n
Present:-     Mr. B.S.Jaswal, Advocate for the petitioner.<\/p>\n
              Mr. P.K.Gupta, Advocate for complainant-respondent no.1<\/p>\n
              Mr. B.B.S.Teji, AAG, Punjab.\n<\/p>\n
MAHESH GROVER, J<\/p>\n
              This petition has been directed against the order dated<\/p>\n
10.10.2007.     By virtue of the impugned order the learned Additional<\/p>\n
Sessions Judge set aside the order dated 13.8.2005 passed by the Judicial<\/p>\n
Magistrate Ist Class dismissing the complaint preferred by the present<\/p>\n
respondent no. 1 and discharged the petitioners who were arrayed as<\/p>\n
accused therein.\n<\/p>\n
              Briefly stated the facts of the case are that respondent no.1 had<\/p>\n
initiated a criminal complaint against the petitioner alleging that he had<\/p>\n
forged the sale deed and thereby committed an offence punishable under<\/p>\n
Sections 420, 426, 468, 471, 193, 194, 195, 196, 199 IPC. It was averred by<\/p>\n
him that he alongwith other persons namely Durga Dass s\/o Harnam Singh,<\/p>\n
Lal Singh, Durga Singh and Yog Raj are co-sharers in the land out of which<\/p>\n
Durga Singh has sold some portion of his share to the petitioner. The
\n Crl. Rev. No. 2349 of 2007             2<\/span><\/p>\n
dispute pertains to only one Khasra no.190 (0-17) which was allegedly sold<\/p>\n
by Durga Singh to the petitioner comprising 3 marlas of land.             The<\/p>\n
complainant alleged that prior to the filing of the complaint a civil suit had<\/p>\n
been initiated by the present respondent seeking to injunct the petitioner<\/p>\n
from interfering in his peaceful possession of land which included the<\/p>\n
aforesaid Khasra no. and in that suit the present petitioner has set up a sale<\/p>\n
deed allegedly executed by Durga Singh which included this khasra no. In<\/p>\n
the complaint it was highlighted that although the sale deed which was<\/p>\n
produced in Court mentions khasra no. 190 yet in the records of the Sub<\/p>\n
Registrar pertaining to this sale deed the aforesaid khasra no. does not find<\/p>\n
mention. According to the complainant-respondent no.1 since the sale deed<\/p>\n
produced in Court was at variance with the record of the sale deed which<\/p>\n
was available in the office of the Sub Registrar, the petitioner had<\/p>\n
committed forgery and therefore liable to be proceeded against.<\/p>\n
              After recording the preliminary evidence the petitioner<\/p>\n
alongwith acussed Durga Singh were summoned to face the trial. Two other<\/p>\n
persons namely Balbir Singh and Chanchel Singh were reported to be dead<\/p>\n
during the pendency of the complaint.      Durga Singh also died and it is the<\/p>\n
petitioner alone who was facing the proceedings pursuant to the complaint.<\/p>\n
The respondent no.1 who is the complainant got recorded his pre-charge<\/p>\n
evidence in the shape of CW1 Surjit Kaur and also examined himself as<\/p>\n
CW2. He broadly deposed on the lines of the complaint. Copy of the sale<\/p>\n
deed was produced as Ex.D1 while copy of Jamabandi as Ex. D2 and copy<\/p>\n
of the entry in the register of the scribe of the sale deed as Ex. D3.<\/p>\n
              Learned Trial Court while considering the pre-charge evidence<\/p>\n
intensively relied on the judgment of the learned Civil Court which
\n Crl. Rev. No. 2349 of 2007            3<\/span><\/p>\n
proceedings have been initiated by the complainant-respondent himself and<\/p>\n
concluded that no case for proceeding against the petitioner has been made<\/p>\n
out and dismissed the complaint and also discharged the petitioner which<\/p>\n
resulted in filing of the srevision petition before the Court of Additional<\/p>\n
Sessions Judge who accepted the same and remanded the case back to the<\/p>\n
Trial Court to re-consider the matter by appraising the pre-charge evidence<\/p>\n
and deciding the matter afresh. This has resulted in filing of the present<\/p>\n
revision petition.\n<\/p>\n
              It has been contended by the learned counsel for the petitioner<\/p>\n
that the sale deed in question was executed on 8.2.1995 by Durga Singh in<\/p>\n
his favour and the suit was filed by the respondent no.1 instantly on<\/p>\n
13.3.1995. The veracity of the sale deed was tested before Trial Court<\/p>\n
where Durga Singh appeared and verified to the execution of the sale deed<\/p>\n
pertaining to Khasra no. 190. The civil suit was dismissed and the appeal<\/p>\n
preferred by the respondent was also dismissed. After lapse of 6 years the<\/p>\n
complaint has been filed on 11.1.2000. It is the contention of the learned<\/p>\n
counsel for the petitioner that the sale deed as such was never challenged by<\/p>\n
the complainant-respondent no.1 and the same was to his knowledge as he<\/p>\n
has contested the proceedings in the Civil Court all through out. Therefore,<\/p>\n
the complaint which has been filed after a lapse of 6 years is belated and<\/p>\n
ought to have been dismissed on this count alone. He has contended that<\/p>\n
the impugned order passed by the Revisional Court has resulted in grave<\/p>\n
mis-carriage of justice and the finding that the pre-charge evidence has not<\/p>\n
been appreciated is erroneous only because the testimony of complainant<\/p>\n
and one Surjit Kaur had been recorded. Besides only three documents out of
\n Crl. Rev. No. 2349 of 2007                4<\/span><\/p>\n
which two were already under the scrutiny of the Civil Court and one is<\/p>\n
entry in the register of the scribe of the sale deed, which per se even if it is<\/p>\n
accepted could not establish the criminal intent on the part of the petitioner<\/p>\n
so as to force him to face the proceedings in a criminal complaint.<\/p>\n
              On the other hand, learned counsel for the respondent no.1 has<\/p>\n
contended that the proceedings in the civil suit are totally independent of<\/p>\n
the criminal proceedings and since the complainant had come to the know<\/p>\n
of the forgery after the decision of the suit he initiated the complaint. He<\/p>\n
placed reliance on the Apex Court judgment in case Rashida Kamaluddin<\/p>\n
Syed & Anr. Versus Shaikh Saheblal Marden (dead) through Lrs &<\/p>\n
Anr. 2007(2) Apex Court Judgements 252 wherein in para 27 it has been<\/p>\n
observed as follows:-\n<\/p>\n
                             “Para 27 : – Finally, the contention that a civil suit<\/p>\n
              is filed by the complainant and is pending has also not<\/p>\n
              impressed us. If a civil suit is pending, an appropriate order<\/p>\n
              will be passed by the competent Court. That, however, does<\/p>\n
              not mean that if the accused have committed any offence,<\/p>\n
              jurisdiction of criminal court would be ousted.            Both the<\/p>\n
              proceedings are separate, independent and one cannot abate or<\/p>\n
              defeat the other.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
              I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have perused<\/p>\n
the impugned judgments and also the relevant documents which have been<\/p>\n
produced alongwith petition.\n<\/p>\n
              Concededly, the parties were at loggerheads by way of a civil<\/p>\n
suit in which the complainant-respondent no.1 sought to injunct the<\/p>\n
petitioner from interfering in his possession. The petitioner in order to
\n Crl. Rev. No. 2349 of 2007             5<\/span><\/p>\n
defend his rights in a civil suit has set up a plea that the sale deed executed<\/p>\n
by Durga Singh included the disputed khasra no. 190. The foremost fact<\/p>\n
that has to be noticed in favour of the petitioner is that Durga Singh himself<\/p>\n
appeared as witness before the Civil Court and testified to the execution of<\/p>\n
the sale deed in favour of the petitioner. It has to be noticed that the sale<\/p>\n
deed which is produced and supported by the vendor Durga Singh reflected<\/p>\n
this Khasra no.190. At no point of time did the vendor raise this objection<\/p>\n
that Khasra no. 190 was not part of sale deed and was not intended to be<\/p>\n
sold and that is why the finding was returned in favour of the petitioner<\/p>\n
establishing his right in the property in question. A perusal of the entire<\/p>\n
facts reveal that it is essentially a civil dispute. The complainant had never<\/p>\n
challenged the sale deed to say it is erroneous.        He has only pleaded<\/p>\n
injunction on the basis of being a co-sharer in the property and in that case<\/p>\n
the vendor supported the factum of sale deed.           The respondent no.1-<\/p>\n
complainant is an alien to this fact. He thus has no locus to say that the<\/p>\n
petitioner has committed any criminal offence since the allegations pertain<\/p>\n
to the tampering of the sale deed which in case was supported by the<\/p>\n
vendor. Besides, the complainant was in the know of the sale deed all<\/p>\n
through out ever since its execution on 8.2.1995 which is reflected from the<\/p>\n
prompt filing of the suit in March, 1995 yet he chose to file the complaint<\/p>\n
on 11.1.2000 after he lost battle in Civil Court. It is clear from the aforesaid<\/p>\n
that the complainant is merely trying to abuse the process of law by<\/p>\n
resorting to criminal process when the dispute essentially was of civil nature<\/p>\n
and the filing of the complaint eventually as an abuse of the process of law<\/p>\n
has been done belatedly. The Court of revision was therefore clearly in<\/p>\n
error by remitting the matter back to the Trial Court which had correctly
\n Crl. Rev. No. 2349 of 2007          6<\/span><\/p>\n
appreciated the facts. In this view of the matter, the present petition is<\/p>\n
accepted and the impugned order dated 10.10.2007 passed by the Revisional<\/p>\n
Court is set aside.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
