IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) PRESENT THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRL.P.NO.6268 OF 2008. Date:25.01.2010 Between:- Munigala William and others ..Petitioners/A-1 to A-3 And Gaddam Ram Reddy and another .. Respondents ORDER:- This petition is filed by the accused Nos.1 to 3 under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing proceedings in C.C.No.84 of 2007 on the file of IV Additional Judicial Magistrate of the First Class, Warangal relating to offences punishable under Sections 193, 196, 468 and 471 I.P.C. 2. Originally, the petitioners filed criminal petition No.250 of 2007 for the same relief. At that stage, only original charge sheet was filed. Subsequently, the police filed additional/supplementary charge sheet before the Magistrate under Section 173(8) Cr.P.C., after taking permission of the lower Court for further investigation. Questioning the additional charge sheet/supplementary charge sheet, the accused filed the present petition. Today orders were passed dismissing criminal petition No.250 of 2007 as withdrawn. 3. Without there being any basis in the petition, the petitioners’ counsel contended and prayed for stay of C.C.No.84 of 2007 in the lower court pending disposal of L.G.C.No.1 of 2007 on the file of Land Grabbing Tribunal (District Judge), Warangal. 4. A-2 is son of A-1. A-3 is father of A-1. A-3 executed two registered gift deeds dated 21.01.1993 in favour of A-1 and A-2 respectively in respect of the subject property i.e., 920 sq.yds of site. A-3 claimed that he obtained the same property under a simple sale deed dated 21.01.1993 (same date as that of the gift deeds). Link document in favour of A-3 is on two non-judicial stamp papers worth Rs.3/- each. The said link document is alleged to be forged and fabricated in A-3’s name. On the basis of said documents, A-1 to A-3 filed O.S.No.481 of 1997 in II Additional Junior Civil Judge’s Court, Warangal for permanent injunction against Dr.G.Gopal Reddy. That suit was dismissed after trial. As against that decree of dismissal, the petitioners filed A.S.No.42 of 2003 on the file of IV Additional District Judge, Warangal. It was also dismissed on merits. Thereupon, the petitioners filed S.A.No.1330 of 2004 in this Court. When the second appeal was pending, the petitioners withdrew the same and then filed L.G.C.No.1 of 2007 before the Land Grabbing Tribunal, Warangal against the respondent No.1, who is the defacto complainant, and others for declaration of the petitioners’ title to the property and to declare the respondent No.1 and Dr.Gopal Reddy as land grabbers etc. It is stated to be pending. It is contended by the petitioners’ counsel that in case the petitioners are going to succeed in L.G.C.No.1 of 2007, the present criminal case in C.C.No.84 of 2007 would become a false case. Already, the civil courts gave verdict against the petitioners’ contention. Subsequently, the petitioners have approached the Land Grabbing Tribunal. There is no provision in law for granting stay of a criminal case pending decision by Land Grabbing Tribunal. This Court cannot invoke its powers under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for granting such abnormal relief. I n P.SWAROOPA RANI VS. M.HARI NARAYANA ALIAS HARI BABU[1], the Supreme Court considered the question arising in similar situation and came to the conclusion that stay of criminal proceedings by a Civil Court is not warranted. Thus, this Court finds that there are no valid and legal reasons either to quash proceedings in C.C.No.84 of 2007 or to stay proceedings in C.C.No.84 of 2007 pending disposal of L.G.C.No.1 of 2007. 5. In the result, the petition is dismissed. _​_________________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU, J 25th January, 2010 AMD [1] (2008)5 Supreme Court Cases 765
