PRAYER: Petition is filed under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure to direct the 2nd respondent to register FIR, to investigate the matter and to file final report based on the order passed by the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Madurai in Cr.M.P.No.839 /2011 dated 29.06.2011 based upon compliant given by the petitioner dated 13.03.2011. For Petitioner : Mr.K.K.Kannan For Respondents : Mr.P.Kannithevan Government Advocate (Crl.Side) O R D E R *********** Seeking a direction to the 2nd respondent police to register a case on the compliant given by the petitioner dated 13.03.2011, the petitioner has come up with the present Criminal Original Petition. 2.It appears that the petitioner has preferred a private complaint and the same was enquired into and subsequently, it was referred as mistake of fact. A perusal of the complaint would go to show that there appears to be a dispute regarding a property between the proposed accused and the petitioner. The accused claims that he purchased the property from one Sangiliyapillai. Thus, a civil dispute is sought to be converted into a criminal prosecution. For that, Section 482 Cr.P.C cannot be invoked. 3.If the petitioner is aggrieved by the non-registration of the case, even though he filed a petition under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C, the remedy for the petitioner lies before elsewhere. Hence, this petition is liable to be dismissed. 4.Accordingly, this petition is dismissed.
