RAM YAGYAM Vs. DEPUTY DISTRICT MAGISTRATE BIKAPUR FAIZABAD

JUDGEMENT

(1.) D. K. Trivedi, J. Heard the learned Counsel of parties on this petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Pro cedure, whereby the petitioner has prayed for the quashing of the proceedings under Section 145 of the Code of Criminal Pro cedure pending in the court of Up Zila Magistrate Bikapur, District Faizabad.

(2.) THERE is no dispute that Second Appeal No. 110 of 1988 relating to the property in dispute is pending in this Court and interim stay order was passed on llth April, 1988 directing the opposite parties 3 and 4 not to dispossess the peti tioner from the disputed property. It is also not in dispute that subsequently a suit was filed for cancellation of the sale-deed in the court of Civil Judge (Junior Division) by the opposite parties which has been registered as Original Suit No. 408 of 1997 and when opposite parties sought for interim injunction their application was rejected.

(3.) IT may, however, be seen that the main question for consideration in the present petition is whether the proceedings under Section 145 of the Code of Criminal Procedure amount to an abuse of the proc ess of law or not and whether the learned Magistrate had the jurisdiction to initiate the proceeding under Section 145 of the Code of Criminal Procedure and to pass attachment order.
