Let's dive into a recent court decision where Justice Tirumala Devi Eada dealt with a tricky situation. This case involves property disputes, knives, and a bit of courtroom drama.

The Petitioner's Argument: It's Just a Civil Matter

The petitioner, Rajesh Kumar, wanted to stop the criminal proceedings against him. He argued that this was just a civil dispute over property. The petitioner's lawyer, Sri R. Mangulal, said they already had a court order in their favor and accused the complainant of trying to turn a civil issue into a criminal one. Rajesh Kumar claimed he was just on his own land and didn't trespass.

"The petitioner is in possession of his own property and cannot be said to have trespassed into his own land."

The Prosecutor's Counter: More Than Just Property

On the other side, the Assistant Public Prosecutor, Mrs. Shalini Saxena, had a different story. She said witnesses saw Rajesh Kumar trespassing with a knife, causing panic. This made the situation more serious than just a property dispute.

"The petitioner was armed with a knife and created panic in the minds of the de-facto complainant and others."

The Court's Decision: Let's See What Happens

Justice Tirumala Devi Eada reviewed the case and decided not to stop the proceedings. The court noted that the real story would come out during the trial, especially with witnesses involved. Rajesh Kumar doesn't have to attend every court hearing but must be represented by his lawyer.

"The veracity of these witnesses and the truth or otherwise in the allegations is yet to be brought out during the course of trial."

Summary of the Verdict

For now, the case isn't dismissed. The court wants to see how things unfold during the trial. It's a reminder that sometimes, what seems like a simple property issue can get complicated when other factors are involved.
