Chief Judge, City Civil Court, Hyderabad and others. … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.Y.SOMAYAJULU W.P.No.15423 of 2000 O R D E R; This petition is filed seeking a direction to respondents 1 to 5 to launch prosecution against respondents 7 and 8 for committing forgery during court proceedings. Since the grievance of the petitioner is that their signatures are forged in civil proceedings, and since Section 340 Cr.P.C. lays down the procedure for launching prosecution in such circumstances petitioners have to approach the court in which forgery was committed by filing a petition under Section 340 Cr.P.C. but they cannot invoke the jurisdiction of this court under article 226 of the Constitution of India seek a direction to the court in which the forgery was alleged for launching prosecution against the respondents 7 and 8. Therefore, granting liberty to the petitioners to approach the concerned court under section 340 Cr.P.C., the writ petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. ___________________ C.Y.SOMAYAJULU,J 13.09.2007 PNV THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.Y.SOMAYAJULU W.P.No.15423 of 2000 Date: 13.09.2007
