The State of Maharashtra and others. ..Respondents. .......... Mr.Priyal Sarda, Advocate a/w. Mr.Rishi Bhuta, Advocate for the Petitioner. Mr.P.A. Pol, Public Prosecutor for the State. .......... CORAM : A.M. KHANWILKAR AND A.R. JOSHI, JJ. DATED : 17th FEBRUARY, 2011. P.C. 1. We have perused the further affidavit filed by the Senior Police Inspector. The chart appended thereto (Exhibit-1) gives the analysis of all the complaints made by the Petitioner from time to time. The concerned Police Officer has conceded the position that most of the complaints filed by the Petitioner from time to time would disclose commission of cognizable offence. However, it is stated that soon after receipt of such complaints enquiry was undertaken and ultimately the conclusion reached by the Officer was that the dispute was essentially of civil nature. For that reason, the Officer has not registered the FIR or proceeded with the matter any further. The affidavit refers to the PPD 2 7.wp.1338-10 enquiry report in respect of each of the complaint. Suffice it to observe that from the material produced by the Respondents it does appear that there was serious disputes between the parties in respect of land which not only resulted in civil proceedings between the parties but also proceedings under Section 155 of Criminal Procedure Code. 2. Considering all these aspects, without expressing any opinion on the merits of this Petition, we dispose of the same with liberty to the Petitioner to pursue his remedy by way of private criminal complaint, which, if filed, will have to be proceeded in accordance with law on its own merits. All questions are left open. 3. Petition is disposed of on above terms. (A. R. JOSHI, J.) (A. M. KHANWILKAR, J.)
