After considering the submissions made on behalf of the parties and upon perusal of the materials on record including the reliefs from the writ petition, this Court is of the firm view that, the disputes raised through this writ petition are purely civil in nature. Several fact finding enquiry including the witness action of the relevant parties are required to be gone into, which is not the job of a writ Court.

In view of the foregoing reasons and discussions, this Court finds no reason to entertain and adjudicate upon this writ petition.

Resultantly, this writ petition, WPA 26799 of 2022 stands dismissed, without any order as to costs. It is made clear that, this Court has not gone into the merits of the claim of the petitioner in the writ petition. In the event a properly constituted civil suit is filed before the jurisdictional Civil Court, the jurisdictional Civil Court shall proceed with the same as expeditiously as possible in accordance with law.

The petitioner shall be at liberty to raise all its contentions before the jurisdictional Civil Court and the Civil Court shall decide the same by applying its independent mind and without being influenced by observations, if any, made by this Court herein but strictly in accordance with law. The respondent nos. 8 and 9 are also directed to proceed with the criminal case already registered by it as expeditiously as possible in accordance with law and without causing any unnecessary delay.

It is further made clear that the jurisdictional Criminal Court while trying the criminal case shall not be influenced by any observation made by this Court and shall proceed with its independent mind in accordance with law.
