2010 (9) TMI 219 - HIGH COURT OF CALCUTTAWhether the requests under the various provisions were made by the original defendants following the plaintiffs’ refusal to give in to the extortionist demands of the original defendants that the plaintiffs book advertisements in the first defendant’s periodical? Held that:- The principal purpose for the plaintiffs’ launching the present proceedings is to cast some doubt over the criminal proceedings that have been instituted by the first defendant. Those criminal proceedings have to be contested and decided on merits without the pendency of the present action having any bearing thereon. If it is ultimately found that the first defendant had instituted the criminal proceedings with malice, the plaintiffs will be free to take appropriate steps, but this Court or the present proceedings cannot be used for the oblique purpose of gaining some undue benefit in the pending criminal proceedings. Appeal dismissed.
