Hon'ble Ravindra Singh,J.

Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned A.G.A.
It is contended by learned counsel for the applicant that the order 
dated 05.12.2009 passed by Addl. Chief Judicial Magistrate, Hapur, 
Ghaziabad in case crime No. 726 of 2009 whereby the application 
under   section   156(3)   Cr.P.C.   has   been   rejected.   It   is   further 
contended   that   the   impugned   order   is   illegal   which   has   not   been 
decided  under   the   provisions   of   law  because   on   the  basis   of   the 
allegation  made   in  the  application  under   section   156(3)   Cr.P.C.   a 
prima facie cognizable offence is not made out but the same has not 
been considered by the courts below. The impugned order is illegal 
which is liable to be set aside.

It is opposed by learned A.G.A. by submitting that the order is well 
reasoned order.

From the perusal of the application under section 156(3) Cr.P.C. it 
appears   that   on   the   basis   of   allegation   made   therein   prima   facie 
offence is made out. In such circumstances learned Magistrate was 
under   obligation   to   direct   the   Officer   Incharge   to   investigate   the 
same, but not passing such order, learned Magistrate has committed 
manifest error. Therefore, the impugned order is illegal and hereby 
set   aside.   However,   it   is   directed   that   the   learned   Magistrate 
concerned shall pass a fresh order on the application filed by the 
applicant under section 156(3) Cr.P.C. in accordance with provisions 
of law.

With this direction, this application is finally disposed of.
