The State Of Bihar, 2. Janardan Thakur son of late Nasib Thakur, 3. Rudra Narayan Sao son of late Banarsi Sao, 4. Kailash Sao son of late Suresh Sao, 5. Ajay Thakur son of late Ram Charan Thakur & 6. Sankar Sao son of late Dukhan Sao All resident of village- Kamargama, P.S. Tarapur, District- Munger. …Accused-opposite parties ----------- 2/ 14.05.2009 Heard. This SLA has been filed against the judgment of acquittal dated 2.4.2009 passed by Sri Satendra Pandey, Judicial Magistrate, Ist Class, Munger, in Complaint Case no.54(c) of 2005 /Trial No.376 of 2009, by which the opposite party nos. 2 to 6 have been acquitted of the charges under section 420 and 471 of the Indian Penal Code. The opposite parties have filed unregistered sale deed in Title suit no. 44 of 2003. The sale deed is said to be on stamp paper. The petitioner filed the complaint case alleging that the deed was not a genuine deed. The learned court below after considering the submissions and the evidence led by the complainant in this case rejected the plea for the reasons that the Title Suit has already been decided and the civil court is competent to consider the genuineness of the sale deed. In my opinion, no grounds are made out for interference with the impugned judgment as this court finds that the reasons assigned therein for acquitting the opposite party nos. 2 to 6 are based on good reasoning. - 2 - However, it goes without saying that the civil court is competent to consider the genuineness or otherwise of the sale deed. In the result, S.L.A. is dismissed. JA/- (Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
