Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Jan-31-2008

Reported in: [2008(119)FLR1084]

A.P. Sahi, J.1. The petitioner contends that the Magistrate as well as the revisional court have erred by dropping the proceedings in view of the fact that the petitioner is in possession and that in view of the History of the litigation, the proceedings for attachment ought to have been continued as there was a continuous existence of an apprehension of breach of peace and there was a serious dispute with regard to possession.2. In order to appreciate the aforesaid contention of the petitioner, it is to be noticed that the property in dispute which is an agricultural land appears to have been recorded in the name of the father of the petitioner Gaya Prasad and the same continued during consolidation operations.

Reported in: 2008CriLJ2551

A.P. Sahi, J.1. This revision has been filed questioning the legality of the order dated 30.8.2007 and in support of the submissions advanced, a supplementary-affidavit has been filed stating therein that the court below has committed a manifest error by summoning the applicants on the strength of the signed statements of Shiv Mangal, Naresh Kumar Singh and Sheelu, which is an erroneous procedure for the purposes of Section 190(1)(b) Cr.P.C. inasmuch as the Magistrate has relied on extraneous material which did not form part of the case diary. Sri Manish Tiwari contends that the ingredients of a police report cannot include the signed statement of any person as there is a complete bar to the admissibility of such a statement under Section 162 Cr.P.C.2. The question, therefore, that arises for consideration is as to whether the Magistrate has erred in proceeding to summon the applicants only on the basis of the said statements which are alleged to have been signed by them and whether in...
