Ahmedabad: Gujarat high court (HC) has recalled its order by which it had quashed an FIR in 2013 because the accused person did not keep his word and follow the condition laid down in the consent term.The HC has not only revived the old quashing petition, but it has also decided to initiate civil contempt of court proceedings against him for not following the assurance given to the court for quashing of the FIR. It issued notice and kept hearing on April 4. This case involved a land dispute between father and a son in Devgam village of Balasinor block in Kheda district, where Haji Usmangani Shaikh had lodged FIR for forgery and cheating against his relatives including his son Mohammed Salim.The son moved the HC for quashing of the FIR on the ground that the dispute was amicably solved and that his name would be deleted from the revenue entries. He also assured to remove certain construction he had put up on the disputed land. The father gave his NOC for quashing the FIR. The HC quashed the FIR, but the son later filed a suit in a civil court against deletion of his name from revenue papers and did not remove construction. Unhappy with the son's U-turn, the father requested the HC for reviving the FIR and initiating contempt of court proceedings against the son.
