Mr.T.Arul, learned counsel appearing for the second respondent/defacto complainant, though, has not filed vakalat, has undertaken to file vakalat today and hence he was also heard.
3. The defacto complainant, namely, the second respondent has given a complaint alleging that the petitioner has forged a sale agreement, dated 11.03.2009 as if the defacto complainant has https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/
agreed to sell his property and received a sum of Rs.1,00,000/- as advance to the property. The allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner has forged the document. A criminal case has been registered under Sections 120(b), 420, 465, 468, 471 of IPC., read with Section 34 of IPC., against the petitioner and two others. The petitioner as well as the defacto complainant has filed suits before the Court below regarding the same dispute.
4. The petitioner is the first accused in this case and having regard to the nature of the complaint in this case, the pendency of Civil Suit for specific performance or any other suit filed by the landlord for eviction cannot hamper the proceedings in C.C.No.51 of 2017, before the Criminal Court, when serious allegation of forgery is made. Further the case of petitioner denying the allegation in the FIR is a matter for evidence and hence, this Court is not inclined to entertain this petition. Hence, this Criminal Original Petition is dismissed. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are also dismissed. Sd/- Assistant Registrar (CS-II) /True copy/ Sub Assistant Registrar To
