THE STATE OF BIHAR THROUGH SECRETARY LAW DEPARTMENT, BIHAR, PATNA 2. CHAIRMAN, LOK ADALAT, CIVIL COURT, KATIHAR 3. CHINNU TANTI, SON OF LATE FEKUL TANTI 4. CHANKARIA DEVI WIFE OF SUGREEV TANTI, BOTH OF VILLAGE CHANNADIH, P.S & DISTRICT- KATIHAR ----------- 3 29.04.2011 Heard learned counsels for the petitioner and the State. Petitioner has challenged the order dated 2nd of MAY, 2010 passed in Mega Lok Adalat in criminal case vide G.R. No. 854 of 2001 arising out of Katihar P.S. Case No. 183 of 2001 for the alleged offence under section 325 of the Indian Penal Code. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that the order of the Lok Adalat has been obtained by the respondents by completely practicing fraud, as a matter of fact, no counsel had appeared in the Lok Adalat and the Vakalatnama purported to have been filed on behalf of the petitioner was forged one since the petitioner did not put her thumb impression over the Vakalatnama. Secondly, it is submitted that the record of the aforesaid case was somehow or the other got missing and as such the whole proceedings before the Lok Adalat resulted in a fraud. As such, the order passed in the Lok Adalat is absolute nonest in the eye of law. Learned counsel appearing for the State submits that the averments made in the writ application invites adjudication of serious disputed questions of fact involving allegation of fraud which cannot be appropriately adjudicated in a writ proceeding. Having considered the rival submissions of the parties and on perusal of the averments made in the writ application, it appears that the petitioner has alleged that the aforesaid order passed by the Lok Adalat is absolutely nullity since the order has been passed by practicing fraud and forgery. In this view of the matter, I do not find it a fit case to entertain the writ application and the same accordingly stands dismissed. Manish/- ( Shailesh Kumar Sinha,J.)
