Hari Sankar Mukherjee v. Sanjeeb Mukherjee and Anr

ORDER

01.03.2024 Heard Mr. A Paul, learned counsel for the petitioner as well as Mr. S D Roy, learned counsel for the respondents. This is an application filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India challenging the order dated 03.04.2023 passed by the learned Civil Judge, Bongaigaon in M.S. No. 11/2022. Two brothers filed two NI Act cases against the present petitioner. Both the brothers also jointly filed a civil suit against the petitioner for recovery of money. Now, the petitioner filed a petition under Section 10 of the CPC before the learned Civil Judge, praying for stay of the proceeding of the money suit. But, the court below rejected the prayer. I have considered the submission made by the learned counsel for both the sides. It is well settled that a criminal proceeding as well as a civil proceeding may simultaneously proceed against the same person. I am of the considered opinion that the learned Civil Judge has done no wrong in passing the impugned order. I find that the present revision petition is devoid of merit and stands dismissed accordingly.
