Holding
The High Court held that there was no ground for interference and dismissed the petition.
Summary
The petitioner, Vijay Nath Pandey, filed a petition under Article 227 seeking to set aside two orders: one dated 30 July 2026 by the Civil Judge (Junior Division) directing the lodging of a First Information Report (FIR) in a civil matter, and another dated 10 August 2026 by the Session Judge in a criminal revision. The petitioner argued that the trial court's direction to lodge the FIR was improper. The respondent State informed the court that, following the trial court's order, an FIR was lodged on 12 August 2026 and the final report was submitted on 7 September 2026. The High Court, after hearing counsel, observed that the FIR had already been lodged and the matter was proceeding, and therefore there was no ground for interference. Consequently, the petition was dismissed and the matter was disposed of without any order setting aside the lower courts' decisions.
Issues considered
- Whether the High Court should interfere with the trial court's order directing the lodging of an FIR under Section 173(4) of the CrPC
- Whether the petition seeking to set aside the Session Judge's revision order is maintainable
