Labdhi Garden Co-op. Housing Society LTD. vs Labdhi Homes LLP — 210/2023

Summary: The court dismissed the criminal complaint filed by Labdhi Garden Co-housing Society against Labdhi Homes LLP and others, finding insufficient evidence to establish charges under Sections 170 and 120-B IPC. While the court acknowledged that vehicles may have breached a civil court's injunction order restraining heavy vehicle traffic on society roads, it ruled that such violations constitute a civil matter with adequate remedies available through breach of injunction proceedings and contempt jurisdiction, rather than criminal prosecution. The court applied the settled legal principle that criminal process should not be invoked for predominantly civil disputes unless clear criminal offence elements are proven.
