• Battle with Principal District Court Judge

History:
In 1981, 1 acre and 50 cents of land were purchased by various individuals, including Shiva Rama Raju, Parvathiswara Rao, Laxmi Rani, and Manju Veni. These parcels were self-acquired, not ancestral. In 1992, Shiva Rama Raju sold his land to B. Vijaya Lakshmi. 
In 2005, B. Vijaya Lakshmi filed a lawsuit against Parvathiswara Rao, Laxmi Rani, and Manju Veni, alleging an oral contract breach.f iled a suit in O.S.No.297/2005 before the VI Additional Senior Civil Judge, Visakhapatnam, for specific performance on an oral contract. The suit was dismissed as not prosecuted vide order dated [deleted], without any subsequent appeal or steps being taken.

Present Situation (2024):

- Defendant 1 (Parvathiswara Rao) has passed away. I am his son now
- New plan again On March 19th, 2024 since old plan of oral agreement didnt work , B. Vijaya Lakshmi's associates damaged the compound wall.
- A complaint was filed by me to police on March 19th.
- Revenue officials visited on March 21st without notice.
- try to construct wall in our compound
-we dialled and 100 and stopped it 
- our complaint was given only acknowledgment the issue is "civil in nature"
- A court notice for temporary injunction was received on 23rd March 2024, containing wrong address and unknown Defendant 
- we complained to commissioner of police on SHO for not registering FIR on our complaint.
- April 5th 2024,ACP called both parties and told to have combined survey but not to fight
-however the other party in the name of injection constructed wall with in our boundaries
- April 19th 2024, we tried very hard to stop by calling 100 again , they made me to sit in station for 4 hours and constructed high cocurate wall immediately.
-police simple said the other party have injection order and the issue is civil in nature and they are busy with election
- they are false FIR registered on us by SHO threating us not go to site 
- we hold all proper original documents 
- The upcoming hearing for injection is on April 30th, 2024, requiring our preparation.


B. Vijaya Lakshmi is very old lady who cant even walk but her son is principal district court judge influencing police, revenue and also get interim injection order from junior civil court.

Considering the legal entanglement involving a Principal District Court Judge's family, particularly his elderly, incapacitated mother, what strategic approach should we adopt?
What are the proper steps for lodging a complaint with the High Court
Note : upcoming hearing on injection is April 30th and he constructed wall with name of interim injection, police cooperated and damage already done 
Your guidance is appreciated. Thank you.

If any judicial officer is misusing his official  power then complaint can  always be lodged against him before the Registrar General of the High Court.

You can file a stay petition before  the same court and also a petition  to vacate the interim injunction  against the old lady for misusing the law and constructing the wall and also for encroaching the property without any rights or interest hence to restrain her from proceeding ahead with her intended construction.

The police may not interfere in this civil dispute.

However you should have been more conscious when the dispute began so that you should have approached court with an injunction petition against them even before they approach the court.

If you have evidence for the indulgence of the district judge in this matter, you can give a complaint to the registrar of high court agaisnt the district judge to initiate proper action agaisnt him.

Dear Client,

Develop a strong defense strategy based on legal grounds, such as challenging the validity of the interim injunction, proving that the construction was unauthorized, and highlighting any procedural irregularities or bias in the legal process. If you believe that there has been judicial misconduct or bias due to the involvement of the principal district court judge's family, you may consider lodging a complaint with the High Court. Consult with your advocate to prepare a detailed complaint outlining the alleged misconduct and providing supporting evidence. Your advocate should explore options for seeking emergency relief, such as filing for a stay order or injunction to halt further construction pending the resolution of the dispute. Exercise caution in all interactions and communications, avoiding any actions that could be perceived as confrontational or aggressive. Focus on presenting a strong legal case based on facts and evidence.

You seem to be lacking proper legal advise and assistance to handle the situation and this too is not your fault as people generally take law very lightly and pretend to be expert. People rely on hearsay advises. High court is not trial court and high court donot entertain complaint cases as other trial court do. Since judge is involved so situation is required to be handled tactfully. You have badly handled the issue which resulted into worsening the situation. If police is not registering FIR then you can file complaint case also under section 156 (3) cr.p.c. and can also file WRIT in high court. For rest you may consult individually.

I understand this is a frustrating situation. Here's some guidance to approach the upcoming hearing and the larger legal battle:

Preparing for the April 30th Hearing:

  1. Documents: Gather all relevant documents:

    • Land purchase documents (yours and B. Vijaya Lakshmi's)
    • Proof of your father's ownership (if applicable)
    • Police complaint and acknowledgment
    • Court notice (even with errors)
    • Any survey reports you have

  2. Survey: If not already done, consider getting a fresh land survey conducted by a court-appointed surveyor. This can establish the boundaries of your property.

Complaint to the High Court:

  1. Grounds for Complaint: You can file a complaint with the High Court against the judge's son's actions and potential influence on lower courts and police.

    • Allege bias in the issuance of the injunction order.
    • Mention the police inaction on your complaint and their cooperation with the other party despite the injunction order exceeding permissible boundaries.

  2. Evidence: Include copies of all the documents mentioned earlier as evidence to support your claims.

  3. Maintain Records: Document all future interactions with the other party, police, and revenue officials.

  4. Highlight Injustice: While presenting your case, emphasize the power imbalance created by the judge's family's influence.

  5. Focus on Facts: Base your arguments on facts and verifiable documents.

  6. Consider Media Attention (Optional): In some cases, bringing media attention to situations involving. potential judicial bias can be helpful. However, this should be a last resort and done

If you are not willing to bring any other lawyer as suggested by your own lawyer then you can change this lawyer and engage some other lawyer who is ready to take up your case.

Any complaint to be given agaisnt the judicial officers will have to submitted to the registrar (vigilance) of the high court and not that you can straightaway file a case against the judge

- If the summons of the court not served upon the defendants properly then the court passing the ex-parte injunction is against the law. 

- If the ex-parte injunction was passed , then you should file an application in the same court for setting aside the order of injunction. 

- However, if an interim injunction order was passed then you can approach the higher court against that order of trial court , and as the summons not served upon the real name of the defendants , hence it can be a ground for cancellation of the inunction order 

- The fee of lawyer depend upon the person to whom you will engage and it is not necessary that he will charge hefty amount.

- You can engage a lawyer for drafting the complaint and appeal.

There's no purpose will be solved even if you file a complaint against the junior judge for procedural deviations.

You should have filed a petition to vacate stay or the order for interim injunction.

Let court pass any order, if it is against you then you could have taken up the matter with high court court by filing a revision petition.

If you have evidence of corruption then only your complaint will be entertained by vigilance department.

Dear client,

In your legal situation, it is necessary to deal with the procedural irregularities on the wrong entry of defendants and the unclear addresses that has hindered proper delivery of summons. These are relevant when giving a petition to have the ex-parte injunction set aside on the 1st of October in the year 2024 be kicked out because under the CPC under Order V, proper service must have been made. You should consider bringing an application for contempt against Judge P. Nageswara Rao for granting the injunction when there is no sufficient basis to do so without sufficient notice violating your rights and procedurally unfair. Although there are concerns that complaints against both judges should be made, it may be more beneficial to aim at the junior judge if you think he is pressured by the first judge. Whatever samples of his calls or conversation or other such material for substantiating the allegations compiled by her must be compiled completely. The approach is associated with Section 27 of the CPC pointing out that proper summon and fair hearing should be conducted in the case.

 

Hope you find this answer satisfactory.

advocate cannot sign affidavit on behalf of deceased person

Ajay Sethi

The advocate can file an affidavit as an advocate stating that since the plaintiff has died and steps being taken to implead the LRs hence the interim injunction may be extended until then. 

Therefore there's no legal infirmity in it. 

You have to file a counter to their petition for interim and temporary injunction and also to vacate the same,  if you have already filed then follow it up properly through your advocate.

- No, Advocate cannot sign an affidavit on behalf of the deceased person without an LR application. 

- If the advocate has filed this affidavit on behalf of his client , then the affidavit is invalid and the extension can be challenged on this ground.

- However, the application for adding/substituting the legal heirs of the deceased can be filed within the limitation period of 90 days, but this application should be moved by the legal heirs and not with an affidavit of advocate.
