For Petitioner(s): Mr.D.Ashokkumar For Respondent(s): Mr.R.Vinothraja Government Advocate (Crl.Side)

ORDER

This revision challenges the dismissal of the petition filed under Section

175 (3) BNSS seeking registration of FIR on the petitioner’s complaint.

2.The gist of the allegation in the petitioner’s complaint is that the petitioner is in possession of a land for about 70 years; that the proposed accused are trying to disturb his possession by executing documents by claiming title in favour of third parties and that they are liable for the offences of forgery and cheating.

3.The learned Magistrate found that the petitioner had already challenged the patta granted in favour of the proposed accused; that there is a judgment of the Civil Court in O.S.No.22/1968; that the allegations are civil in nature; and that therefore, the Police have no jurisdiction to entertain such a dispute and dismissed the petition.

4.The petitioner is unable to point out the cognizable offences committed by the proposed accused. The allegations at best disclose that the proposed accused has made a false claim of title. In fact, the petitioner has not chosen to file any civil suit to prove his possession or to declare that the patta granted in favour of the proposed accused is erroneous. The dispute with regard to title or possession cannot be decided by the Police. Hence, the learned Magistrate was right in dismissing the petitioner’s application and this Court finds no infirmity in the impugned order.

5.Accordingly, this revision stands dismissed.
