1.T V P SAI VIHARI Counsel for the Respondent(S):
1.G VIJAYA SARADHI 2.PUBLIC PROSECUTOR (AP)
3 Crl.R.C.No.509 of 2019 The Court made the following:
ORDER: The Criminal Revision Case has been filed under Sections 397 and 401 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (for brevity ‘the Cr.P.C.,’) challenging the order dated 22.01.2019 passed in C.F.R.No.1216 of 2016 in Crime No.25 of 2015.
2. No representation for the Petitioner and the Respondent Nos.1 to 12. Case is of the year 2019, one of the oldest cases. Hence, Sri C.Karthik,
learned Counsel is appointed as learned Legal Aid Counsel for the petitioner and Ms.Priyanka, learned Counsel is appointed as Legal Aid Counsel for the respondent Nos.1 to 12. The Secretary, High Court Legal Services Committee is directed to issue necessary orders in this regard.
3. Heard both the learned Legal Aid Counsel and the learned Assistant Public Prosecutor.
4. I have perused the record. The petitioner has filed a complaint under Section 190 read with 200 of ‘the Cr.P.C’., alleging that the respondent Nos.1 to 12 had committed certain offences punishable under Sections 141, 188, 447 and 435 read with 34 of ‘the IPC’. Learned Trial Court declined to take cognizance of the offences for the above mentioned alleged offences and dismissed the complaint without costs.
5. It is the allegation of the petitioner/complainant that respondent Nos.1 to 12 committed trespass into his land in violation of the injunction order passed in I.A.No.104 of 2015 in O.S.No.147 of 2015 and cut and burnt the Palmyra trees. Had the respondents/accused willfully violated the injunction order, the petitioner ought to have taken appropriate steps in the pending civil suit by initiating proceedings for violation of the injunction and by seeking recovery of
4 Crl.R.C.No.509 of 2019 damages. As there was a civil dispute very much pending in between the parties, taking recourse of the penal provisions is not justified.
6. The learned Magistrate has rightly observed that the petitioner failed to file any documentary evidence to establish his right, title or possession over the disputed property. Except the bald allegations, no evidence whatsoever, not even photographs, was produced to substantiate the allegation regarding destruction of Palmyra trees or the loss allegedly caused to the petitioner.
7. Further, the petitioner had not lodged any report in respect of the alleged incident before the concerned Station House Officer. He did not place any material on record to show that he had submitted a representation to the Superintendent of Police upon inaction by the concerned S.H.O, prior to filing the private complaint. There are no material irregularities. There was no flagrant miscarriage of justice. There are no merits in the case. Hence, the revision case is liable to be dismissed.
8. Accordingly, the Criminal Revision Case is dismissed. There shall be no
order as to costs. As a sequel, interlocutory applications, if any pending, shall stand closed. _________________________ Dr. Y. LAKSHMANA RAO, J Dt: 20.12.2025 SAB / JLSR
