Magistrate is not a Post Office = Magistrate, who is dealing with a complaint under Section 190 read with 200 Cr.P.C. has to apply his mind to find out as to whether the complaint makes out a prima facie case or not. Only, in the event, a prima facie case is made out, the complaint can be forwarded to the police for making investigation and to file a final report under Section 173 of the Code. Reasons are required to be spelt out for that satisfaction arrived at by the Magistrate. Perhaps, those reasons need not be very elaborate. Mechanically, no Magistrate can forward the complaints received to the police for investigation. Such measures would result in reducing the Court to that of a mere post office or to that of a sorting office attached to the Railway Mail Service. That is not the purpose which is sought to be achieved by the Code where provision is made for a genuine complainant to approach the competent Court for securing redressal for his grievance, when the police failed to act in the matter. I am, therefore, convinced that the entire exercise is an illegal one and hence, this petition is allowed. Accordingly, this criminal petition is allowed.-2015 Telangana & A.P.msklawreports

Writ - praying to declare that explanation to Section 6 of the amendment Act of 39 of 2005, Explanation: for the purpose of this Section partition means any partition made by execution of a deed of partition duly registered under the Registration Act, 1908 (16 of 1908) or partition effected by a decree of a court as unconstitutional and the same is liable to be struck down and etc; -2015 KAR(2015) msklawreports

Or.39, rule 7 of C.P.C - Petition for preservation of properties belongs to the petitioner - as the Govt. is going to demolish the building in road widening scheme - Or.39, rule 1 made absolute against the petitioner infavour of the respondent - Trial court allowed the Petition wrongly - their lordships held that In a suit for injunction, though the question of possession as on the date of filing of the suit is most relevant, there may be other ancillary and incidental questions as to the conduct of the parties before the Court. The concept of possession in law should take in its spectrum all rights, liabilities, immunities and claims vis-`-vis the property which is said to be in possession. When the Court recorded a prima facie finding that Gayatri bai is in possession, she was also in law entitled to take advantage of that presumption. Unless the defendant properly pleads and proves at the earliest stage regarding any such movables or immovables attached to the immovable property, no defendant can be heard of saying that his belongings were lying in the disputed property. - 2015 A.P.(2001) MSKLAWREPORTS
