Headnote:

Criminal Procedure Code - Section 86, 82 – Civil Procedure Code - Section 151 - NDPS Act - Section 8 – Proclamation - suit for specific performance - Defendant No.1 was declared an absconder in the trial under the NDPS Act and the proceedings for attachment of his property were undertaken by the Union of India under Chapter VI Part C – Proclamation and Attachment containing the provisions from Section 82 to Section 86 in Cr.P.C. The objections against such attachment were raised by the plaintiff before the concerned Chief Judicial Magistrate, but before such objections could be decided - plaintiff also filed the present suit for specific performance against the vendor impleading the Union of India and the State Government - Union of India filed an application under Order 7 Rule 11 read with Section 151 CPC seeking rejection of the said plaint. Their objections were rejected by the learned trial court of the Additional District Judge – Held, final relief even in the civil suit for specific performance pertaining to the same property may also remain subject to the final decision of the objections under Section 84 of the Cr.P.C. as stipulated in Section 84(4) of Cr.P.C. and the rights of the Union of India of attachment and even confiscation of that property may prevail over the rights of the plaintiff in the present suit for specific performance, but that does not per se bar the trial itself of such civil suit for specific performance. Both the proceedings therefore, can proceed simultaneously in law. A suit even if premature can be allowed to proceed on its own merits - present suit instituted by the plaintiff-respondent cannot be said to be barred by law, even though the fate of the said property may ultimately depend upon the conclusion of both the proceedings - present revision petition filed by the defendant-Union of India, who can only be an objector against grant of final relief in the suit or in the execution of decree, if so granted by the civil court, if the objections under Section 84(1) of the plaintiff are ultimately rejected by the competent court - present revision petition filed by the defendant-Union of India is dismissed – Petition id Dismissed.
