G.K. SHARMA, J—This revision petition is directed against the judgment dated 15th Sept., 82, passed by the Sessions Judge, Pali, confirming the judgment of the Judicial Magistrate, Sojat, dated 27th June, 80. 2. Khivraj filed a complaint u/ss. 379, 454 & 461, IPC against the petitioner, in the court of Judicial Magistrate, Sojat. After trial, the learned Magistrate found the petitioner guilty of offence u/s. 448, IPC and instead of sentencing her to any imprisonment, ordered to release her on probation. Against that order, an appeal was preferred, but the learned Sessions Judge, Pali, dismissed the said appeal and confirmed the order of the learned Magistrate 3. Mr. Singhvi argued that the offence u/s. 448, I.P.C. is with regard to house-trespass. According to him, every house-trespass is not an offence, and that it has to be established and proved by the prosecution that the real and dominant intention of the entry was to commit an offence, or insult, intimidate or annoy the occupant. In support of his argument, he cited the case of Jawanmal vs. Mst. Bhanwari (1), a division bench decision of this Court. Therefore, no doubt, a house-trespass is punishable u/s. 448, I.P.C., but, it must be proved by the prosecution that the trespass was a criminal trespass with the intention to commit an offence, or insult, intimidate or annoy the occupant. In the present case, the disputed house belonged to one Pannalal. The petitioner is the daughter of Pannalal. Pannalal is said to have adopted one Pukhraj. Mst. Dhapu is the wife of Pukhraj.; and it is said that Mst. Dhapu created a will in the name of Tarachand, who is the son of Khivraj. So, the dispute of the complainant is that the disputed house belonged to Pannalal, but, later on, through the alleged will, it has come in the name of Tarachand, his minor son. It is not the allegation of the complainant that he is in possession of the house under his own ownership. It is also not disputed that Mst. Suwa petitioner is the daughter of Pannalal. From the evidence on record produced by the complainant, it is clear that Mst. Suwa used to live in the house in dispute even during the life time of Pannalal and also after his death. It is also not disputed that Mst. Suwa petitioner is the daughter of Pannalal. From the evidence on record produced by the complainant, it is clear that Mst. Suwa used to live in the house in dispute even during the life time of Pannalal and also after his death. It is also in the evidence that after adoption of Pukhraj, he resided in the said house with his wife Mst Dhapu. Khivraj is the son-in-law of Pukhraj, and he claims ownership over this house, through a will, so, the dispute between Khivraj and Mst. Suwa is of civil nature. From the evidence, it seems that both the parties are in possession of the disputed house, and it is for the parties to establish their case in an appropriate civil court. In the case of a house-trespass, one has to prove that the entry was to commit an offence, or insult, intimidate or annoy the occupant. Khivraj is not the sole-occupant of the house in question. Mst. Suwa was also occupant of a part portion thereof. So, it cannot be said that even if a trespass has been committed by Mst. Suwa, that was a criminal-trespass. Unless, it is established that the trespass was of criminal nature with the intention to commit an offence or to insult, intimidate or annoy Khivraj, the conviction u/s. 448, IPC, is bad. In the case of Ram Ekbal Rai vs. Jaldhari Pandey (2), wherein a theft was committed and the question was of possession of land and crop on the date of incident not beyond controversy, the conviction and sentence u/s. 379, IPC, were held to be bad. 4. Similarly, in the present case, it is not in controversy that Mst. Suwa was also in possession of the house in question. Therefore, it cannot be said that she committed any trespass over the disputed property. It was also argued that Mst. Suwa was in bona fide possession of the disputed house, she being the daughter of Pannalal, the owner of the house; and from the evidence of the complainant, it is clear that she used to come and reside in the house even after the death of Pannalal. Therefore, she claims a bona fide right over the disputed house. In such matters, there is no question of committing any criminal-trespass. Therefore, she claims a bona fide right over the disputed house. In such matters, there is no question of committing any criminal-trespass. This argument is supported by the decision in the case of Hathi Singh vs. State of Rajasthan (3), wherein it was observed by their Lordships: "There is no question of committing trespass because the appellants were acting under bona fide claim of right. The charge which was a composite one fails, as a result of this finding given by us. Moreover, as the main object of the appellant demolish the obstruction caused by the complainant on the pathway leading to the well, they cannot be said to be inspired by any unlawful object." 5. The present case is also of bona fide claim by Mst. Suwa. Therefore, there is no question of committing any criminal-trespass by her. 6. Under such circumstances, the conviction of Mst. Suwa u/s 448, IPC, is bad and cannot be maintained. 7. Consequently, the revision petition is accepted. The conviction of the petitioner u/s. 448, IPC, is set aside, and she is acquitted.
