In my considered opinion, this petition is highly misconceived. Remedy for the petitioners lies elsewhere either by way of approaching the civil Court or by way of filing a Writ Petition. Section 482 Cr.P.C can be invoked only in the criminal matters. Therefore, the relief as sought for by the petitioner cannot be granted at all. Section 482 Cr.P.C is no answer to the grievance expressed by the petitioner in this petition. 3. More over, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that subsequent to the filing of this petition, notice has been issued by the first respondent calling the petitioners to permit him to measure the property. The said notice has been challenged in a separate petition. Whether the said petition is sustainable or not, is a matter to be gone into in the other petition and not in this petition. 4. In such view of the matter, this Petition is liable to be dismissed. Hence, this Criminal Original Petition is dismissed.
