Durga and Ors. vs Kalloo & Anr.

Virendra Kumar, J.—This revision petition has been moved by 14 persons, who were made accused in a criminal complaint under Section 447/395, I. P. C , filed by Kalloo, opposite party No. 1 it is pending before the Court of Special Judicial Magistrate Lucknow, in which statements were recorded under Sections 200 and 202 Cr. P. C. and thereafter the Magistrate ordered on 21101980 for summoning of the accused under Section 395/149, I. P. C. and 20111980 was fixed for appearance.

Aggrieved by the order of summoning of the accused, the accused revisionists have filed this revision petition.

After filing of the revision petition on 18121980, the proceedings before the Magistrate were stayed and since then the proceedings are lying stayed.

Heard the learned counsel for the parties. It seems that there was a dispute with regard to title of plot No. 504, to which the complainant claims as his land while from the side of the accused their claim was put forward. The complainant came forward with the case that his crop was forcibly cut and removed by the accused. From the side of the revisionist it is contended that the crop in question belonged to the revisionist and therefore, they are quite justified in cutting the same. In respect of the incident in question no first information report seems to be lodged. According to the complainant the police has not written the first information report. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case it seems that the dispute between the parties is of civil nature because each of the two parties are setting their title and claim to the crop in question which must be nonexistent now.

In view of the facts and circumstances order of summoning of the accused by the court below calls for interferences as it does not seem to be correct.

In view of the circumstances the revision petition is allowed and the order of the court below dated 21101980, summoning of the accused is set aside.

Revision allowed.
