learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Bolpur, District- Birbhum under section 468 of the
Indian Penal Code. CRAN being no.419 of 2015 has already been disposed of on 06.06.2016 by the

(2.) In order to appreciate the case of the parties, it is necessary to state in brief the facts of the case. Opposite party no. 2/Jahirul Islam Chowdhury(herein after referred to as opposite party no.2 only)
purchased a plot of land and set up new life nursing home at Nanoor Chandidas Road, (Sian) Post
Office- Bolpur, District- Birbhum. A sale deed was executed by opposite party no. 2 on 29th June,
1999 in favour of the petitioner for transferring land measuring about 3600 Sq. Ft. and / or 8.26 decimals situated in Mouja - Khoshkadambapur, bearing J. L. No. 95, R.S Khatian No. 358, Hal
Khatian No. 157/1 and 421, Touzi No.11, R S. Dag No. 2799, at Bolpur within District- Birbhum for
consideration of rupees 4,00,000/-. It was registered with the Additional District Sub-Registrar,
Bolpur, District- Birbhum in book no. 1 volume no. 49 pages 57 to 62 being Deed No. 4269 for the
year 1999. The case of the opposite party no.2 is that in fact no such deed was ever executed by
opposite party no.2 but the petitioner (Shyamal Kumar Roy), manufactured and forged such
document with the left thumb impression of someone else and thereby the petitioner has tried to
grab the entire property of the complainant with the help of such forged document. In fact the
nursing home of the opposite party no.2 was being operated by the petitioner on payment of some
fees but subsequently the petitioner did not tender such fees to the opposite no.2 and declared that
the opposite party no.2 had actually sold out such property to the petitioner. Being aggrieved by
such claim of the petitioner, the opposite party no.2 had lodged an FIR at Bolpur Police station and
which was registered as FIR no. 141 of 2005 dated 19.09.2005 under Section 465, 468, 471 and 120B
of the Indian Penal Code against the petitioner and one Prafulla Vyas. After completion of
investigation, the Inspector of Police (D.E.B), Bolpur, District- Birbhum submitted a report being
final Report No.95 dated 31st May, 2007 stating inter-alia that in fact opposite party no.2 genuinely
executed such deed in favour of the petitioner since the handwriting expert of the forensic
laboratory has opined that the L.T.I appearing on the deed and the admitted L.T.I of opposite party
no.2 are of self-same person.
(3.) Opposite party no.2 took out a protest petition challenging such report in final form and learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Bolpur, District - Birbhum after hearing opposite party no. 2
and considering such petition directed for re-investigation by circle inspector, Bolpur, District -
Birbhum. On 29th February, 2008 the circle inspector, Bolpur, District- Birbhum again submitted a
report in final form being no. 39 of 2008 whereby the circle inspector again submitted final report
against the petitioner recommending discharge of the petitioner. Opposite party no.2 again being
aggrieved by and dissatisfied with such report submitted another application for re-investigation by
Sub Divisional Police Officer, Bolpur, District - Birbhum. The prayer of opposite party no.2 was
accepted by learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Bolpur, District - Birbhum and the matter
was again sent for reinvestigation by the Sub-Divisional Police Officer, Bolpur, District - Birbhum.
The Sub Divisional Police Officer, Bolpur again submitted report in final form recommending
discharge of the petitioner with a prayer for drawing up a proceeding under Section 211 of the
Indian Penal Code for filing false case against opposite party no.2. Learned Additional Chief Judicial
Magistrate after considering the report of sub- Divisional Police Officer has accepted the said report.
At that point of time opposite party no.2 filed a Naraji petition/protest petition in the form of
complaint. Opposite party no.2 and his 2 witnesses were examined and thereafter learned
Magistrate issued summons upon the petitioner holding inter- alia that opposite party no.2 has
made out a prima facie case under Section 468 of the Indian Penal Code.;
