We have heard Mr. Singh, the learned counsel for the petitioner. We have noted that there is a dispute regarding some office premises and the petitioner has already filed a Civil Suit before the City Civil Court. The owner has also filed a private complaint and an order for investigation under Section 156(3) of Cr.P.C. has been passed. From the 2 cri-wp-2295-10 report submitted by the Senior Police Inspector, M.R.A. Marg Police Station, Mumbai it also appears that notice under Section 149 of Cr.P.C. was issued. The articles which were allegedly removed from the subject premises have already been returned. In the circumstances, if the police station has not recorded the petitioner’s complaint, he is not estopped from filing a private complaint before the concerned Metropolitan Magistrate. Hence, the petition is disposed with liberty to file a private complaint, if so advised. (ANOOP V. MOHTA,J.) (B. H. MARLAPALLE, J.)
