(2.) INITIALLY , on 22.4.2008, the applicant had moved an application under Section 156(3) Code of Criminal Procedure before the Court of Judicial Magistrate, Roorkee with the averments that his mother Smt. Mansha expired in the year 1960, whereas the accused Respondents got executed a forged sale deed of a residential house, which was owned by his mother, on 25.9.1962, and also mutated their names in the relevant record. It is further alleged that the accused Respondents are trying to grab the said residential house on the strength of this forged sale deed. The learned Magistrate called a report in this regard from the concerned police station and after considering the said report and other materials adduced by the applicant, dismissed his application, holding the same to be without any substance, vide order dated 26.4.2008. Being aggrieved, the applicant preferred a revision against the said order of the Magistrate before the Sessions Judge, Haridwar, which was also dismissed on 4.7.2008. Hence, the applicant has approached this Court by filing this criminal miscellaneous application.

(3.) IT is the contention of the applicant that his mother Smt. Mansha died in the year 1960. In support of his contention, the applicant has appended with this petition a photocopy of the dead certificate of his mother. A perusal of the same reveals that this dead certificate has been issued by some authority, whose particulars are not legible. It further reveals that the exact date of death of Smt. Mansh has not been mentioned in the said certificate. Only the tentative years of her death i.e. in the year 1960/61 have been mentioned. It has also been stated in the said certificate that the said tentative years of death of Smt. Mansh has been ascertained on the basis of interrogatories from the old persons of the area as well as on the basis of the affidavit given by the applicant Tara Chand. It is further relevant to mention here that the said death certificate has been issued on 14.1.2008, whereas the sale deed, in question, was executed on 25.9.1962, on the basis of which the names of the Respondents have also got mutated in the relevant record. The applicant pleads that the sale deed is forged one and, therefore, a criminal case should have been registered by the police against the Respondents No. 2 to 4.
