....to counsel for the petitioner, the case does not involve any ingredients of cheating, fraud and forgery because this is the dispute in respect of membership and the petitioner was the elected Secretary of the Samiti and since respondent No.2 has alleged in the FIR about the election of the petitioner therefore, this cannot be a ground for registration of the FIR because petitioner has the alternative remedy of filing civil dispute under the Adhiniyam or by way of civil suit but certainly not the criminal case. While referring the judgment of the Hon'ble Apex Court in the case of Indian Oil Corporation Vs. NEPC India Ltd. And Ors. (2006) 6 SCC 736, he submits that civil dispute cannot be converted into a criminal case. 8.

A plea of autrefois acquit is not proved unless it is shown that the verdict of acquittal of the previous charge necessarily involves an acquittal of the latter. " 18. The Hon'ble Apex Court in the case of Sangeetaben Mahendrabhai Patel (supra) has further dealt this dictum and expression is as under:- "35. The learned counsel for the appellant has further placed reliance on the judgment in G. Sagar Suri Vs. State of U.P. Wherein during the pendency of the proceedings under Section 138 of the NI Act, prosecution under Sections 406/420 IPC had been launched. This Court quashed the criminal proceedings under Sections 406/420 IPC, observing that it would amount to the abuse of process of law.

Gorantla Venkateswara Rao is conerned. It has been held therein that once the conviction under Secti....
