This Criminal Original Petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C.

to quash the final report filed in C.C.No.284 of 2020 on the file of the learned Judicial Magistrate–I, Thiruvannamalai for the offence punishable under Sections 465, 468, 471, 420, 506(1) I.P.C.

2.The crux of the allegation in the final report is that A1 has originally settled a land in Survey No.23/5 to an extent of 35.5 cents in favour of the defacto complainant on 20.07.1978 and after the settlement, the defacto complainant was in enjoyment of the said property. When the matter stood thus, A1 again settled the same property in favour of A2 and all other accused have colluded with A1 and jointly committed the said offence.

3.Learned counsel for the petitioners would submit that the very settlement deed which is a base for registration of F.I.R. indicates that A1 has settled the property with specific boundaries leaving the property which was already settled in favour of the defacto complainant. Now, the contention is that merely because the settlement was made in the year 1978 and since then some extent of land has been acquired by the Government, the defacto complainant has filed the present complaint.
