Heard the learned counsel for the appellant, learned Public Prosecutor and perused the material on record. 3. Learned counsel for the appellant submits that the appellant has falsely been implicated in this case. The matter pertains to civil nature. [2025:RJ-JP:21626] (2 of 2) [CRLAS-951/2025] He further submits that it is an admitted position that the victim has sold the land as mentioned in the FIR to the appellant and the appellant after obtaining possession, started to reside on that land. Thereafter, when the concerned Tehsildar has given notice for treating the land as well as construction as illegal and directed to remove the encroachment, then this FIR has been lodged. Charge-sheet has been filed. The appellant is behind the Bar since 26.03.2025. The trial of the case may take considerable time, hence the criminal appeal of the appellant may be allowed. 4. Learned Public Prosecutor opposes the prayer made on behalf of the appellant. 5. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and without commenting anything on the merits/demerits of the case, I deem it just and proper to allow the appeal filed by the appellant under Section 14 of the SC/ST Act. 6. Accordingly, this criminal appeal filed under Section 14 of the SC/ST Act is allowed and order dated 27.03.2025 passed by the learned trial court is set aside.
