ORDER This reference has been made by the Sessions Judge, Manipur. It arises out of a proceeding under Section 145, Cri.P.C. and involves an area of 22 acres of land. There are three parties to the proceeding. In pursuance of the preliminary order passed under sub-section (1) of S. 145, Cri.P.C. the three parties filed their respective written statements, affidavits and documents, the learned Magistrate, in due course, declared possession in favour of the first party. 2. Shri Imo Singh, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the third party and supporting the reference, has made three sub-mission before me : (i) that the Magistrate has omitted to consider nine documents, viz., Ext. Nos. C/1 to C/9 filed by the third parity, (ii) that the learned Magistrate rejected the affidavits filed by the third party on untenable grounds, and (iii) that the learned Magistrate went beyond his jurisdiction in criticizing the correctness of the order of the Judicial Commissioner in Criminal Reference Case No. 21 of 1970 (Ext. C/2) and holding that the Judicial Commissioner had no power under the law to declare possession in favour of any party under Section 145, Cri.P.C. 3. I have been led through the letter of reference of the Session Judge an also through the impugn judgment of the Magistrate. Although the Magistrate has not mention in his judgment exhibits No. C/1 to C/9 as such, it appears from the judgment that he has referred to and considered the contents of the documents themselves. In fact the relevant documents are exhibits, C/2, C/4, C/5, and C/66. Ext. C/2 is the order of the Judicial Commissioner in the reference in a provisions proceedings under Section 145, Cri.P.C. between some of the parties in respect of the same land, Ext. C/4, purpose to be a documents shown delivery of possession in the said proceedings in favour of the present third party, Ext. C/5, is to the same effect as of Ext. C/4. It was by way of execution of the order as per documents Ext. C/4, Ext. C/6, is the Dag Chitha which covers the land in dispute. Ext. C/6, does not bear anybody's name as owner of the land, inasmuch as, the land in question is admittedly Government Khas land. Exts 7, 8 and 9 do not tend to prove possession at all. C/4, Ext. C/6, is the Dag Chitha which covers the land in dispute. Ext. C/6, does not bear anybody's name as owner of the land, inasmuch as, the land in question is admittedly Government Khas land. Exts 7, 8 and 9 do not tend to prove possession at all. It is not correct to say that the Magistrate has omitted from consideration any material documents filed by the third party. 4. Under sub-section (4) of S. 145, Criminal P.C. it is the duty of the Magistrate to peruse and consider the written statements, affidavits and documents file by the parties and then come to the question of possession in favour of a party, if any; but the reasons for accepting some documents and rejecting others are of the Magistrate. Even, if he goes wrong in appreciating some of these affidavits or documents that cannot beside to vitiate the order on the question of possession. The first and second submissions of learned counsel have no substance. 5. Shri Imo Singh has taken serious exception to the mode of treatment of the order of the Judicial Commissioner by the learned Magistrate. In fact, it appears from the impugned order of the learned Magistrate, that he did not sit on judgment on the order passed by the Judicial Commissioner as suggested by learned counsel. What happened in this case is that with regard to the same land between most of the parties there was a prior proceeding under Section 145, Cri.P.C. in which the present third party was the first party. The matter ultimately came up before the Judicial Commissioner by way of reference and the learned Judicial Commissioner, interpreting the second proviso to sub-section (4) of Section 145, Cri.P.C. declared the first party to be entitled to possession of the land in dispute. Against the preliminary order in the present 145 proceedings, the matter came up by way of revision before this Court and this Court in Criminal Revision Case No. 34 of 1971 considered the order of the learned Judicial Commissioner and held : "The learned Judicial Commissioner did not and in law he could not declare possession over the disputed land, in the reference case, in favour of the present petitioner as they were not party to the proceeding before the Magistrate. He declared possession only in favour of the first party in the proceeding. He declared possession only in favour of the first party in the proceeding. By virtue of the order of the Judicial Commissioner the petitioners cannot therefore claim possession over the disputed land, even if the land in the two proceeding is identical." Both these order, viz., the order of the Judicial Commissioner in Criminal Reference Case No. 21 of 1970 and the order of this Court in Criminal Revision Case No. 34 of 1971 were file before the Magistrate who considered them and in the light of the observations made by the High Court he observed that the Judicial Commissioner could not and did not declare possession in favour of any of the parties. In my opinion, there is nothing objectionable in the observation of the Magistrate, nor his consideration of the order of the Judicial Commissioner was, in any way, illegal. In may opinion, no illegality or irregularity has been committed by the Magistrate. 6. In the result, this reference has no merit an it is rejected. Reference answered accordingly.
