This query is : Resolved
lnd Sir,
An appellate revenue court has passed order from taking bribe from other party in a demarcation appeal, before passing the order he showed us absent (both party) and also did not shown us the order for two months, also the court has cited one judgment given by the lawyer of opposite party and after being satisfied by the plea of oppo. party lawyer has passed such order. The whole circumstances show that it has been passed in corrupt manner. Does a criminal suit (IPC 219) lie against the revenue officer? What shud I do? I hv appealed.
Thanking all of you.

You are advised hereby to file a writ before High Court against the Order passed by the Revenue Authority. Further if you apprehend about the alleged corruption, you can file a complaint before anti corruption and also CBI.

As per your say, the authority has passed orders citing a judgment referred by the opposite party. It is very easy to allege corrupt practice but rather difficult to prove. If the appellate revenue authority has passed orders giving a reasoned finding, one can never smell any foul play in it.
File a writ as advised by khaleel ji, try to convince the high court that the order is perverse and passed without any sanction of law and the outcome in writ may help you.
Moreover the authority being a public servant cannot be prosecuted without prior sanction of the central/state government.
Complaint is not maintainable for the facts narrated by you.

the authority has passed orders citing a judgment referred by the opposite party and being satisfied with the plea, but the fact is that there is nothing like the plea and content of the order in that judgement which says entirely different thing, the officer neither has gone thru the content of the cited judgment nor has appreciated the subject matter of the case, has blindly followed/accepted the plea of oppo party and whole cover up of the case has been done in haste and hurry. Every thing has been hided from us. After that he got transferred to some other place.
