-----------
2. 08.12.2010 Heard the parties.
The petitioner has sought quashing of the order dated
14.12.2009 passed by Judicial Magistrate, 1st Class, Munger, in Case
No. 1177C of 2007 by which he has rejected the application under
Section 319 Cr. P.C. filed on behalf of the petitioner.
The learned court below has considered that their are
binding decisions of this Hon’ble Court wherein it was held that in a
Complaint Case if a Magistrate postpones issuance of summons
against some of the accused persons named in the complaint and,
thereafter, refuses to issue summons to them, such person cannot be
termed as “not being the accused” and, therefore, they could not be
summoned under Section 319 Cr. P.C.
In view of such, I am not inclined to interfere in the matter.
The application is dismissed.
