Besides         hearing    learned       counsel<\/p>\n<p>for    the    parties,        I    have     also   perused      the<\/p>\n<p>materials available on record. Along with the<\/p>\n<p>petition, there is nothing on record to show<\/p>\n<p>as     to    whether        protest       petition      was   ever<\/p>\n<p>treated      as   complaint         case    nor    it   has   been<\/p>\n<p>argued by learned counsel for the petitioner<\/p>\n<p>that        protest        petition        was     treated      as<\/p>\n<p>complaint case and court has proceeded with<\/p>\n<p>the     complaint          case.    In      absence     of    such<\/p>\n<p>material, the court is of the view that while<\/p>\n<p>taking       cognizance,           by      its     order      dated<\/p>\n<p>18.12.2002,           the     learned        Magistrate         has<\/p>\n<p>committed no error.
