A Regular Second Appeal arising out of the same is pending adjudication in this Court, the Criminal Misc. 41383-M of 2007 /2 same being RSA 1653 of 2008 titled 'Darshan Singh and others v. Sukhbir Singh and others'. It is also pointed out that in the complaints to which reference has been made in the earlier part of the order, two petitions came to be filed for quashing viz. CRM 22944-M of 2004 and 56359-M of 2003. Both the cases have been disposed of on 6.8.2007 by this Court. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, this petition is disposed of with a direction that the proceedings in the complaint (Annexure P-1) shall remained stayed till the final disposal of RSA 1653 of 2008. If the Power of Attorney is found to be a forged document, the complaint shall be revived, however, if the Power of Attorney is found to be genuine, the original complaint shall be deemed to have been quashed. The petition stands disposed of. August 4, 2008 ( AJAI LAMBA ) Kang JUDGE
