2. The petitioners seek quashing of order dated 10.09.2013 passed by the learned Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Patna City in Complaint Case No. 511 of 2013 wehereby he has taken cognizance of offence under Section 420 and 504 of the Indian Penal Code.
3. The allegation in brief , in complaint is that forged
Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.38497 of 2014 (6) dt.01-09-2017 2/2 Hibbanama was brought into existence by the accused no. 1 in connivance with the other by putting forged signature of complainant's sister and second allegation is that son of second wife of the petitioner no. 1 has shown as son of Shamsha Khatoon in that very Hibbanama.
4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that predominantly it is case of civil dispute and the said Hibbanama has also been challenged in a civil proceeding so in such matters criminal prosecution should not be allowed to proceed.
5. Contrary to that, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the O.P. No. 2 submits that in appropriate cases where more evidence is made both civil and criminal proceeding can go simultaneously.
6. Having considered the rival submissions and on perusal of record, the court is of the view that it is not that no offence is made out considering the allegation levelled in the complaint and material transpiring during enquiry. So this application has no merit which stands dismissed. (Arun Kumar, J) Sujit/- U T
