Babu and Ors. under Sections , , , I.P.C., Police Station Tilhar, District Shahjahanpur, pending in the Court of learned Additional Civil Judge (Junior Division)/ Judicial Magistrate, Rilhar, District Saharanpur.

He pointed out certain documents and statements in support of his contention. It is further contended that the matter is purely of civil nature which has been dragged into criminal prosecution of the applicants at the behest of the opposite party No. 2, which is bad in law.
