order suffers from patent illegality and has resulted in miscarriage of justice
inasmuch as the Coordinate Bench failed to appreciate the material on record
demonstrating that respondent No.2 had committed forgery by preparing a
false and fabricated map and, on the basis thereof, procured mutation in his
favour with a dishonest intention to cause wrongful loss to the petitioners by
encroaching upon their land. It is submitted that the forgery was duly
established during proceedings before the Commissioner in Jan Sunwai, and
the petitioners, upon obtaining a certified copy of the forged map on
30.12.2013 and gaining knowledge of the fraudulent acts, lodged a police
complaint on 29.10.2015 and subsequently filed a private complaint on
14.01.2016 when no action was taken. Pursuant thereto, the FIR was
registered and after due investigation, charge-sheet was filed before the
competent court. It is further urged that the Coordinate Bench erred in
treating the dispute as purely civil in nature and in applying the principles
laid down in State of Haryana vs. Bhajan Lal reported in AIR 1992 SC 604.
