SHREE SHARMA vs TEJPAL — 26/2026

The Civil Judge Jr. Division of Bisauli, Budaun dismissed the petitioner's application under Section 173(4) BNS, finding that the dispute between the parties concerns property ownership and partition of ancestral land—essentially a civil matter already pending as Civil Suit No. 528/2025. The court held that converting a civil dispute into a criminal case undermines the distinction between civil and criminal proceedings, citing Supreme Court precedent that avoidable civil disputes should be resolved in civil courts, not criminal courts.
