JUDGMENT Mr. Anil Kshetarpal, J. (Oral) These two connected regular second appeals have come up for preliminary hearing. The learned counsel representing the appellant admits that both the appeals can conveniently be disposed of by a common order. 2. Hence, the facts are being noticed from RSA-5208-2019. In this regular second appeal, the plaintiff assails the correctness of the concurrent findings of fact arrived at by the Courts below while dismissing his suit for recovery of Rs.5,00,000/- by way of damages. In the year 1986, he joined the respondents' School as an Accountant. The then Principal of the School filed a complaint to the Superintendent of Police, Karnal which resulted in the registration of criminal case bearing FIR No. 355, dated 29.04.2000, under Sections 420, 467, 468 and 471 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860. Subsequently, another complaint was lodged against the plaintiff by the Principal. The court untimately acquitted the appellant by giving him benefit of doubt on 09.09.2010. Thereafter, the plaintiff filed these two suits. Both the courts upon appreciation of evidence have found that the plaintiff has failed to make out the case for grant of damages. It has been found that there was no mala fide intention on the part of the respondents to lodge a complaint and the appellant was not honourably acquitted but was given the benefit of doubt. 3. Learned counsel representing the appellant contends that acquittal of the appellant is sufficient to grant damages. 4. This court has considered the submission, however, find no substance. 5. The appellant cannot be granted damages on mere registration of a criminal case, which ultimately resulted in acquittal by giving him the benefit of doubt. 6. Hence, no ground to interfere is made out in the concurrent findings of fact by the Courts below. 7. Both the appeals stand dismissed. 8. All the pending miscellaneous applications, if any, are also disposed of.
