The Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's claim for damages filed in a criminal proceeding. The plaintiff argued that the defendant's actions caused harm, but the court held that such a claim must be filed in civil court. The court ruled that the Civil Procedure Code provision allowing this type of claim in criminal proceedings is not applicable here, rendering the objection inadmissible.
