While the civil case is pending the defendant filed court referred criminal case

(Querist) 25 September 2014 This query is : Resolved 
Hi,
Civil case on enforcing Lease Agreement has been going on for the past more than one and half years. Obtained interim orders too.

The two of the three defendants initially attended the court with their advocate... the advocate just filed vakalat...no counter...

After waiting for more than one year, the court set two defendants ex-parte because of absence... the third one was avoiding taking summons and hence ordered for paper publication...

After more than 7 months of ex-parte, the two defendants filed an application to set aside the ex-parte and filed court referred criminal case claiming the lease agreement itself is a forged document!!!

What are our options in this situation?

Thanks in advance.

What should we do regarding the defendants' (in civil case) court referred criminal cases?

We are planning to show the entire civil case record to the Police who were ordered to enquire by the court...
Is there anything we should do?

You have to proceed the case on merit. You can show the proceedings of civil case to police during investigation.
