Criminal Misc. Application No.496 of 2001 (Old No. 4022 of 1987) Hon. Irshad Hussain, J. Sri Dharam Veer learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri K.S. Rautela learned A.G.A. None appear for the respondent no.2. The petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (for short ‘Code’) was preferred for quashing of the proceedings drawn under Section 145 of the ‘Code’. In view of the fact that the civil suit no. 13 of 1986 between the parties in regard to the same property was pending before the competent civil court. Since parallel proceedings cannot be drawn in view of the pendency of the civil litigation, the proceedings under Section 145 of the ‘Code’ were nothing but mere abuse of the process of the court and therefore these need to be quashed. The petition is allowed and the proceedings under Section 145 of the ‘Code’ drawn and registered as case no. 13 of 1986 before SDM, Kashipur are quashed. (Irshad Hussain, J.) Dated 28.11.2003 Rawat
