    Case Summary: WP/1676/2026 The High Court of Bombay (Aurangabad Bench) dismissed a writ petition challenging a reference court's directions to file FIR/complaints against land claimants and their advocates for document forgery. The petitioners challenged the directions issued during land acquisition proceedings for an irrigation tank, arguing they received no prior hearing. The court upheld the directions, holding that no statutory requirement mandates a hearing before initiating criminal proceedings under Section 340 CrPC, as natural justice principles don't apply at the complaint stage. The reference court had found sufficient evidence that forged reference letters and manipulated documents were presented in multiple land acquisition claims. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
