M. Krishnan vs Vijay Singh And Anr on 11 October, 2001
Mr. Roy, ld. Counsel for the State, on the other hand, on referring the case of M. Krishna v. Vijay Singh reported in 2002 SCC (Cri) 19, contended that not only the two proceedings are of different nature but also reliefs are different and so continuation of the criminal proceedings will not be a bar in simultaneous proceeding with the civil suit. Mr. Roy further contended that a criminal case may be stayed only on special consideration which is absent here and as such the ld. Magistrate rightly rejected the prayer.
