Case No.369/2016, whereby, charges have been framed against the accused-petitioners for the offences under Ss. 419, 420, 471 and 120-B IPC.

(2.) It is submitted in the misc. petition that the order dtd. 1/10/2019 passed by the learned Magistrate framing charge against the petitioners and the order dtd. 11/4/2022 passed by the learned revisional court to the extent of upholding the order of framing charge are ex facie illegal and has been passed without considering the facts of the case. It is submitted that the complainant is not having any locus standi as he is not a person aggrieved in the present case. It is submitted that by lodging FIR the complainant tried to give criminal colour to a civil dispute as the complainant has failed to get any relief in the civil suit or application for temporary injunction.

(3.) It is further submitted in the petition that though on the FIRs, which came to be registered at the instance of Smt. Kamla Devi Rajendra Pareek, the police has submitted negative final report holding it to be a civil dispute but on the contrary the investigating agency, in the present FIR No.872/2012, has submitted charge-sheet, whereas, prima facie it is a civil dispute.
