Cri. M. A.857/2022
                                             (Omprakash Vs. Gopal)
                      ORDER BELOW EXH.1
             Heard the learned advocate for complainant/applicant.
2.           This is an application seeking directions to the police to
investigate the matter under section 156(3) of the Code of Criminal
Procedure (in short 'Cr. P. C.). The application is supported by an
affidavit duly sworn by the applicant, who seeks invocation of the
jurisdiction of this Court under section 156(3).
3.           I have perused the complaint/application and documents
annexed herewith, which include Xerox copies of registered sale deed
bearing day book No.2956/2015, 2833/2016, 7101/2019 and
2676/2020 and copy of complaint to Additional Superintendent of
Police.
4.           I have given thoughtful consideration to the allegations
made in the complaint and submissions made.
5.           The complainant has brought to the notice of this Court
that despite intimation to the police section 154(1) and 154(3) to P. S.
O., Latur Rural Police Station, Latur and Superintendent of Police,
Latur, have failed to act and investigate a cognizable offence in
accordance with law. Both the aspects have been clearly spelt out in
the applications and necessary documents to that effect are filed on
record.
                           2                   Cri. M. A. No.857/2022
                                               Omprakash vs. Gopal
6.           Upon reading of the complaint, I find that the allegations
in the complaint/application disclose cognizable offence and
forwarding of the complaint to the police for investigation under
section 156(3) will be conducive to justice. Thus, there is justification
to direct the police to register crime under section 156(3) Cr. P. C.
More so when the documentary evidence placed on record clearly
establishes the credibility and genuineness of the complainant's
allegations against the accused persons.
7.           For the aforesaid reasons, it would be appropriate to
direct the P. S. O., Latur Rural Police Station, Latur to register an
F.I.R. and conduct investigation in accordance with law. Hence, the
following order is made;
                           ORDER
      1.     P. S. O., Latur Rural Police Station, Latur is directed to
             register an F.I.R. and investigate the same under section
             156(3) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973.
      2.     The proceeding under section 156(3) of the Code is
             terminated in view of judgment of Hon'ble Bombay High
             Court in the case of Avinash Trimbakrao Dhongde
             (Criminal     Wrti   Petition   No.159/2014      decided          on
