Opposite party /2nd party restrained.

Mr. Ramawatar Choubey, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that in both the orders, the learned courts have not provided any

reason of coming to the conclusion on the possession of the opposite parties in this case. By way of referring to sub section 4 of section 145 Cr.P.C.,

Mr. Choubey, the learned counsel submits that the reasoned order is required to be passed which is lacking in the case in hand and he further submits

that this petition fit to be allowed.

Per contra Mrs. Lily Sahay, the learned counsel appearing for the respondent State submits that both the courts have examined the witnesses and

looking to the documents and after analysis of the witnesses evidence have passed the orders.

The Court has perused the revisional order wherein at the finding the revisional court has considered the L.C.R and has also recorded that the first

party filed the petition before the court of Executive Magistrate, Barhi by way of claiming the Khata Noa.52, Plot No.90, area 1.49 acres it has been

noted on which the second party who is the petitioner. Thus, the proceeding started under section 144 Cr.P.C. The learned Executive Magistrate has

looked into the show cause and after looking to the submission of both the sides being satisfied has converted the proceeding under section 145 Cr.P.C

and again issued notice. Both the parties appeared and submitted their written statement. First party submitted that the proceeding land purchased

from Gokhulanand Singh s/o Anirudh Singh in the name of Shanti Devi vide sale deed no.12379 dated 29th November, 1999 and after purchasing the

proceeding land, the first party in possession peacefully, when cultivating by the first party have been objected by second party. They restrained to

cultivate the proceeding land and also abuse them and ready to quarrel. Thus, section 144 Cr.P.C. proceeding was started and on this initiation the first

party produced seven witnesses before the Magistrate. The contention of the witnesses have been discussed by the learned Magistrate as well as the

revisional court. The sufficient reasons has been assigned by both the courts on possession. If the petitioner is not satisfied, it is open to the petitioner

to go to the competent court of civil jurisdiction for deciding the possession. There are sufficient reasons assigned. It is well settled that if in the

revisional order no injustice is made to anybody, in the garb of petition under section 482 Cr.P.C, the second revision is not maintainable.

Accordingly, Cr.M.P.No.587 of 2015 is dismissed.
