Court: Andhra Pradesh

Decided on: Jan-28-2002

Reported in: 2002(2)ALD(Cri)213; 2002(3)ALT513; 2002CriLJ3405

ORDER1. Heard the learned counsel for the parties. Since the controversy involved is very short, the revision petition is being disposed of at this stage with the concession of the learned counsel for the parties. 2. It appears that the petitioner moved an application under section 340 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (for short 'the Code') seeking prosecution of the respondent on the ground that he had fabricated a document in a proceeding which was pending before the I-Addl. Junior Civil Judge, Vijayawada. Surprisingly the trial court in its order stated, 'At the outset this petition is not maintainable u/s 340 Cr.P.C., because criminal procedure code is not applicable in the civil proceedings. Any how, I am considering this petition u/s 151 CPC but the point arose for my consideration is whether the petitioner is entitled for the relief?' It is settled law that section 340 of the Code is applicable to all proceedings in all Courts irrespective of the fact whether the matter in a Co...
