However, on further continuing the investigation by the different Investigating Officers under the orders of the Senior Authority of the Police Department, the factual report says that the allegations against the accused petitioners have been found to be proved. 19. The conclusion arrived at by one of the Investigating Officer, as referred in the factual report dated 01.04.2019, clearly speaks that the plots in questions have been transferred in the name of the accused petitioner Ramesh Chand Gurjar under due process of law. The plots in questions that area C-41/D, C-41/E and B-40 have been finally transferred in the name of the accused petitioner Ramesh Chand Gurjar by the JDA by separate orders after taking into consideration the material available on the record and the documentary evidence submitted by the concerned parties and after dealing with the objections submitted by the objectors. Section 83 of the Jaipur Development Authority Act provides a legal remedy to any person aggrieved by an order of the JDA to prefer an appeal or make a reference, if aggrieved by any action of the JDA, which is against his interest. The appeal or reference as per section 83 of the JDA Act can be filed before the JDA Tribunal. The orders passed by the JDA in favour of accused petitioner Ramesh Chand Gurjar could have been challenged by the complainant if he has any grievance but the complainant has never chosen the legal remedy available to him under the law. Section 83 of the JDA Act reads as under:- “83. Constitution of Tribunal. (1) The State Government shall, by notification in the Official Gazette, constitute a Tribunal for the purposes of this Act. (2) The Tribunal shall consist of one person who shall be an officer of the State Government and shall be paid such salary and allowances as may be determined by the State Government. (3) The State Government may, to assist the Tribunal, direct the Authority to appoint such number of servants and of such cadre as may be deemed necessary. (4) The expenses of the Tribunal shall be borne by the Authority. (5) The procedure to be followed by the Tribunal in deciding the appeals or disputes referred to it under this Act shall be such as may be prescribed. (4) The expenses of the Tribunal shall be borne by the Authority. (5) The procedure to be followed by the Tribunal in deciding the appeals or disputes referred to it under this Act shall be such as may be prescribed. (6) The Tribunal shall have the same powers as are vested in a civil court under the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (Central Act V of 1908) in respect of hearing and deciding of an appeal or any dispute referred to it. (7) Except as otherwise provided, any dispute arising out of any provision of this Act may be referred to the Tribunal by the Authority. The decision of the Tribunal shall be final and binding on all the parties thereto. (8)[ Except as otherwise provided,- (a) any person aggrieved by an order or notice of the Authority may file an appeal in the Tribunal within thirty days of the communication of such order or notice to him; and (b) any person aggrieved by any threatened act or injury from the Authority affecting his rights may refer the dispute to the Tribunal with in thirty days of the communication or knowledge of such threatened act or injury;and the decision of the Tribunal shall be final] [Substituted by Rajasthan20 of 1991.]. As per the documents available on the record, the plots in questions were allotted to the original allottees way back in the year 1995-96 and thereafter the original allottees sold out the plots either to the accused petitioner Ramesh Chand Gurjar or Kishanlal and then Kishan Lal also sold out the plot No.C-41/E to the accused petitioner Ramesh Chand Gurjar, meaning-thereby, the petitioner Ramesh Chand Gurjar has purchased the plots from the original allottees either directly or indirectly and the same have been transferred way back in the year 2016. The mother of the complainant has sold out the plots by the agreement to sale way back in the year 2000 which are now alleged to be forged. The complainant has lodged the report now on 21.11.2016 without there being any explanation to the intervening period that why he kept mum. The mother of the complainant has sold out the plots by the agreement to sale way back in the year 2000 which are now alleged to be forged. The complainant has lodged the report now on 21.11.2016 without there being any explanation to the intervening period that why he kept mum. The complainant has also not come out with the satisfactory explanation that why his mother who was the authorized Director of the Company during her lifetime has not made any complaint as regards the allegations against the accused petitioner Ramesh Chand Gurjar, which are now being made by the complainant. 20. The accused petitioner Ramesh Chand Gurjar filed a civil suit for permanent injunction against the complainant Kailash Chandra Garg in the Court of learned Addl. Civil Judge (East), Jaipur Metropolitan, as regards the plots No.C-41/D, C-41/E and B-40. 21. Along-with the plaint, the petitioner Ramesh Chand Gurjar has also filed an application for temporary injunction which was numbered as 145/2019. The Court of learned Addl. Civil Judge No.2, Jaipur Metropolitan vide order dated 16.07.2019 passed a temporary injunction order in favour of accused petitioner Ramesh Chand Gurjar that the complainant shall not dispossess the accused petitioner Ramesh Chand Gurjar from the plots in questions without following the due process of law. Against the temporary injunction order dated 16.07.2019 the complainant Dr. Kailash Chand Garg preferred Civil Misc. Appeal No.27/2019 before the Court of learned Addl. District Judge No.1, Jaipur Metropolitan and the said appeal was dismissed vide order dated 05.09.2019 upholding the order of temporary injunction dated 16.07.2019. The aforesaid facts also speak that the civil dispute regarding the plots in questions i.e. C-41/D, C-41/E and B-40 is subjudice before the Civil Court. 22. This Court also comes across the fact that initially the Investigating Officer after making the investigation has proposed the Final Negative Report observing that the allegations of forgery have not been found to be proved against the accused petitioners. However, under the orders of the Senior Officers of the Police Department, the investigation has been transferred to some other Officer. The Investigating Officer has also not come out with the conclusion that the signatures of Kesar Devi, mother of the complainant Dr. Kailash Garg, are forged on the agreements, alleged to have been executed by her in favour of accused petitioner Ramesh Chand Gurjar and Kishan Lal. 23. The Investigating Officer has also not come out with the conclusion that the signatures of Kesar Devi, mother of the complainant Dr. Kailash Garg, are forged on the agreements, alleged to have been executed by her in favour of accused petitioner Ramesh Chand Gurjar and Kishan Lal. 23. Learned counsel appearing for the complainant has raised an issue that the agreements to sale alleged to have been executed by the mother of the complainant (Dr. Kailash Garg) bear the incorrect details about the cheques of alleged sale consideration which shows that the accused petitioners have committed the forgery. The JDA has transferred/ substituted the name of the accused petitioners being the plot holders of the plots in questions after making scrutiny of the material placed before the JDA and so also after taking into consideration the objections submitted by the concerned parties. If the complainant has any kind of grievance as regards the orders passed by the JDA then he has a remedy of appeal /reference before the JDA Tribunal which he has failed to avail. The complainant was having a remedy to challenge the orders of the JDA on the alleged incorrect details for sale consideration, if at all the seller i.e. the mother of the complainant has not received the sale consideration. The mother of the complainant who has executed the sale agreement, has never raised any such issue during her lifetime. 24. The law as regards quashing of the FIR is settled by the Hon’ble Apex Court in the case of State of Haryana v. Bhajan Lal , reported as, 1992 Supp (1) SCC 335 in para 102, which is quoted as under:- “102. 24. The law as regards quashing of the FIR is settled by the Hon’ble Apex Court in the case of State of Haryana v. Bhajan Lal , reported as, 1992 Supp (1) SCC 335 in para 102, which is quoted as under:- “102. In the backdrop of the interpretation of the various relevant provisions of the Code under Chapter XIV and of the principles of law enunciated by this Court in a series of decisions relating to the exercise of the extraordinary power under Article 226 or the inherent powers under Section 482 of the Code which we have extracted and reproduced above, we give the following categories of cases by way of illustration wherein such power could be exercised either to prevent abuse of the process of any court or otherwise to secure the ends of justice, though it may not be possible to lay down any precise, clearly defined and sufficiently channelised and inflexible guidelines or rigid formulae and to give an exhaustive list of myriad kinds of cases wherein such power should be exercised:- (1) Where the allegations made in the first information report or the complaint, even if they are taken at their face value and accepted in their entirety do not prima facie constitute any offence or make out a case against the accused. (2) Where the allegations in the first information report and other materials, if any, accompanying the FIR do not disclose a cognizable offence, justifying an investigation by police officers under Section 156(1) of the Code except under an order of a Magistrate within the purview of Section 155(2) of the Code. (3) Where the uncontroverted allegations made in the FIR or complaint and the evidence collected in support of the same do not disclose the commission of any offence and make out a case against the accused. (4) Where, the allegations in the FIR do not constitute a cognizable offence but constitute only a non-cognizable offence, no investigation is permitted by a police officer without an order of a Magistrate as contemplated under Section 155(2) of the Code. (5) Where the allegations made in the FIR or complaint are so absurd and inherently improbable on the basis of which no prudent person can ever reach a just conclusion that there is sufficient ground for proceeding against the accused. (5) Where the allegations made in the FIR or complaint are so absurd and inherently improbable on the basis of which no prudent person can ever reach a just conclusion that there is sufficient ground for proceeding against the accused. (6) Where there is an express legal bar engrafted in any of the provisions of the Code or the concerned Act (under which a criminal proceeding is instituted) to the institution and continuance of the proceedings and/or where there is a specific provision in the Code or the concerned Act, providing efficacious redress for the grievance of the aggrieved party. (7) Where a criminal proceeding is manifestly attended with mala fide and/or where the proceeding is maliciously instituted with an ulterior motive for wreaking vengeance on the accused and with a view to spite him due to private and personal grudge.” 25. In view of the discussions made above, this Court finds that the complainant in-stead of a remedy available to him under the different Statutes including a remedy of appeal /reference under the JDA Act and civil suit under the CPC has tried to give criminal colour to the dispute between the parties of a civil nature. It is a well settled law that the proceedings which could be settled under the civil disputes, if given the criminal colour, are required to be deprecated and quashed. From the facts of the case it is quite clear that the dispute as regards the property, which was not raised during the lifetime of the mother of the complainant, the complainant is now trying to settle the same by pursuing the criminal proceedings by registering a criminal case against the accused petitioners. The accused petitioners namely; Gopal Sharma and Shree Ram Sharma are merely the witnesses of the agreement to sale and there is no evidence on record as regards the prior meeting of mind with the aid of conspiracy. From the facts given in detail of the case and the observations of the Hon’ble Apex Court made in the case of Bhajan Lal (supra) , the Court feels that the impugned criminal proceedings have been manifestly attended with mala fide and same are maliciously instituted with an ulterior motive for wreaking vengeance on the accused and a with a view to spite him due to private and personal grudge. 26. In view of the discussion made above, both the criminal misc. 26. In view of the discussion made above, both the criminal misc. petitions filed by the accused petitioners deserve to be allowed and are accordingly allowed. The FIR No. 970/2016 dated 21.11.2016 registered at Police Station Jawahar Circle, District Jaipur East for the offences punishable under sections 403, 406, 418, 420, 467, 468, 471 and 120B IPC is quashed and further proceedings pursuant to the aforesaid FIR are also quashed and set aside. 27. The findings and observations given in this order shall in no manner affect any proceedings initiated by any of the parties before any legal Forum except the proceedings in connection with the impugned FIR. 28. In view of the order passed in the main petitions, the said applications and pending application/s, if any, also stand disposed of. 29. The Registry is directed to place a copy of this order in the connected case file.
