ORDER : R. Mala, J. 1. This Criminal Original petition has been filed under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. praying this court to call for the records of the first respondent in his proceedings in M.C. No. A2/4254/2014, dated 13.03.2015 and quash the same as illegal, arbitrary and in violation of principles of law. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Advocate (Crl. side) appearing for the respondents 1 and 2/State and the learned counsel appearing on behalf of respondents 3 to 13 and perused the records. 2. The petitioners have come forward with this petition for quashing the impugned order passed by the first respondent directing the "A" party and "B" party to appear before him on 13.03.2015 to execute a bond for one year to keep peace in their village and challenging the said order, the present petition is filed. 3. The learned counsel for the petitioners would submit that which initiating proceedings under section 107 of Cr.P.C., though the Executive Magistrate must give substance of information received and also he shall not order for joint enquiry of both the groups but here both parties are directed to appear jointly on 13.03.2015 which is against the principles of natural justice. He relied on a decision reported in 2006 (3) CTC 792 (Palani and others vs. The Inspector of Police, Pudukkottai Police Station, Pudukkottai, Thoothukudi District and others) which was followed by this Court and also the judgment of the Court reported in 2011 (2) MWN (Cr) 394 (G. Paramasivam and others vs. The Sub-Divisional Magistrate/Revenue Divisional Officer, Madurai and another) and pray for setting aside the proceedings of the first respondent. 4. The learned Government Advocate (Crl. side), on instructions, would submit that substance of information has been given in this impugned order. But he fairly concede that both "A" party and "B" party, who are rival parties, are directed to appear before him on same day on 13.03.2015 at 11.00 a.m. to execute the bond. 5. The learned counsel for the respondents 3 to 13 has no objection for quashing the impugned proceedings. 6. But he fairly concede that both "A" party and "B" party, who are rival parties, are directed to appear before him on same day on 13.03.2015 at 11.00 a.m. to execute the bond. 5. The learned counsel for the respondents 3 to 13 has no objection for quashing the impugned proceedings. 6. Considering the rival submissions and also the decisions relied on by the learned counsel for the petitioners that the first respondent initiated 107 proceedings starting that during the performance of Pongal festival on 05.05.2012, there was a fight between two groups and hence a case in Crime No. 82 of 2014 has been registered on the basis of the complaint given by "A" party and also a case in Crime No. 83 of 2014 has been registered on the basis of the complaint given by the "B" party. Therefore the substance of information has been given and the only point is that both "A" party and "B" party are directed to appear before him jointly on the same day at the same time, which will cause disturbance of peace in the village. 7. In the decision reported in 2006 (3) CTC 792 (cited supra), this Court has held as under: "3.......It has been further held in Thenmalaiyandi vs. State, 1983 L.W.(Crl.) 313, wherein it has been held as follows: "The first is that the learned Magistrate has passed a common order against the members of the two parties and called upon them to face a joint enquiry. This clearly not in accordance with law. It has to be pointed out that under sub-section (5) of Section 116, Crl.P.C., a Joint enquiry can be held only in respect of members or association of the same group; but not against the member of two rival groups." Considering the ratio laid down in the decisions cited above, I am of the view that the impugned order is liable to be quashed. In the result the criminal Original petition is allowed and the proceedings of the first respondent in M.C. No. A2/4254/2014, dated 13.03.2015 stands quashed. Consequently, connected Miscellaneous petition is closed.
