Order.\n<\/p>\n
           Through         the    instant    application,   Kartar    Singh,<\/p>\n
respondent No.2\/applicant seeks recall of order dated 22.1.2008<\/p>\n
passed by this Court whereby the complaint case was withdrawn
\n              Criminal Misc. No.6600 of 2008
\n                    in
\n             Criminal Misc.No.1622-M of 2008.\n<\/p>\n
                       -2-<\/span><\/p>\n
from the Court of Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Gurdaspur<\/p>\n
and   transferred to Gram Panchayat Dehriwal Daroga, District<\/p>\n
Gurdaspur for trial while       keeping in view the provisions of<\/p>\n
Section 44 of the Punjab Panchayati Raj Act, 1994.<\/p>\n
           The applicant has averred that no notice was issued and<\/p>\n
on 4.2.2008, he came to know about the passing of the aforesaid<\/p>\n
order from the Court of Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate,<\/p>\n
Gurdaspur. He prays for recall of the said order on the grounds that<\/p>\n
the complaint in question is a cross version of the First Information<\/p>\n
Report No.146 dated 7.10.2006, under Sections 326, 324, 323, 34<\/p>\n
IPC, Police Station Dehriwal in which he and his son Manjinder<\/p>\n
Singh have been falsely implicated. There were injuries on his<\/p>\n
person and that of his son Manjinder Singh which were noted in<\/p>\n
the column of police action by the police. Since the police failed to<\/p>\n
take any action against the persons named in the cross version,<\/p>\n
therefore, the applicant had no other alternative except to file the<\/p>\n
complainant, Annexure P-3 on which summoning order, Annexure<\/p>\n
P-7, had been passed. The date,time and area of occurrence is the<\/p>\n
same. It will only be determined on the conclusion of trial as to<\/p>\n
which of the occurrences is correct. The cross case is to be decided
\n              Criminal Misc. No.6600 of 2008
\n                    in
\n             Criminal Misc.No.1622-M of 2008.\n<\/p>\n
                       -3-<\/span><\/p>\n
by the same Court so as to avoid divergent views. The petitioners<\/p>\n
by concealing important facts has obtained order dated 22.1.2008.<\/p>\n
          It has further been averred by the applicant that the<\/p>\n
petitioners have been summoned under Sections 323, 379, 34 IPC.<\/p>\n
As per Section 44 of the Punjab Panchayati Raj Act, 1994 and<\/p>\n
Schedule II, Gram Panchayat can only try an offence under Section<\/p>\n
379 IPC where the value of the property does not exceed Rs.250\/-.<\/p>\n
In the present case, it was specifically mentioned in the<\/p>\n
complainant, Annexure P-3, that a gold chain was snatched from<\/p>\n
the applicant by petitioners Surjit Singh and Sucha Singh. The<\/p>\n
value of the gold chain could not be less than Rs.250\/-. Therefore,<\/p>\n
on this ground alone, the complaint case could not be withdrawn<\/p>\n
from the Court of Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Gurdaspur.<\/p>\n
          The applicant further alleged that the police has planted<\/p>\n
a false case against the applicant and his son under Section 326<\/p>\n
IPC. The case being of version and cross version has, thus, to be<\/p>\n
tried by the same Court. Since the case under Section 326 IPC<\/p>\n
against the applicant and his son is pending in the Court of<\/p>\n
Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Gurdaspur, therefore, the<\/p>\n
complaint case, Annexure P-3, has also to be tried and decided by
\n               Criminal Misc. No.6600 of 2008
\n                     in
\n              Criminal Misc.No.1622-M of 2008.\n<\/p>\n
                        -4-<\/span><\/p>\n
the same Court so as to secure the ends of justice.<\/p>\n
           The learned counsel for the applicant has argued on the<\/p>\n
lines of his pleadings and has submitted that the complaint case<\/p>\n
being a cross case of FIR No.146 dated 7.10.l2006, is to be tried by<\/p>\n
the same Court along with the complaint under Sections 323,379,<\/p>\n
34 IPC. It is further contended that no notice was issued to the<\/p>\n
complainant\/applicant before passing the impugned order which is<\/p>\n
against the spirit of Section 210 Cr.P.C. The property stolen was<\/p>\n
more than Rs.250\/- and as such the Gram Panchayat has no<\/p>\n
jurisdiction to try the complaint.\n<\/p>\n
           In reply to the above noted submission, the learned<\/p>\n
counsel for the petitioners has submitted that the Criminal Court<\/p>\n
has no jurisdiction to review its order. To support this contention,<\/p>\n
he has relied upon authorities in cases Hari Singh Mann<\/p>\n
v.Hrbhajan Singh Bajwa and others, JT 2000 (Suippl.2) SC 394<\/p>\n
and Sunita Jain v. Pawan Kumar Jain and others<\/a>, JT 2008(2)<\/p>\n
SC 19. It is further contended that Section 482 Cr.P.C cannot be<\/p>\n
invoked for recalling the order as there is no specific provision in<\/p>\n
the Cr.P.C.\n<\/p>\n
           In reply to the above noted submissions, it is submitted
\n              Criminal Misc. No.6600 of 2008
\n                    in
\n             Criminal Misc.No.1622-M of 2008.\n<\/p>\n
                       -5-<\/span><\/p>\n
that in both the authorities, relied upon by the counsel for the<\/p>\n
petitioners, no case for interference by invoking the provisions of<\/p>\n
Section 482 Cr.P.C was made out. In authority in case Hari Singh<\/p>\n
Mann (supra), the Supreme Court gave direction to the police<\/p>\n
authorities to make preliminary enquiry. So, in that case, no case<\/p>\n
for invoking Section 482 Cr.P.C for recalling the order was made<\/p>\n
out. However, in the present case, the impugned order was passed<\/p>\n
against the spirit of law. The Gram Panchayat can only try case<\/p>\n
under Section 379 IPC if the value of property involved is less than<\/p>\n
Rs.250\/-.The value of golden chain, in all probability, shall be<\/p>\n
more than Rs.250\/- and as such the panchayat has no jurisdiction<\/p>\n
and, on that count, the impugned order is liable to be recalled. It is<\/p>\n
further contended that the complaint case being a cross version of a<\/p>\n
criminal case under Section 326 IPC vide FIR No.146 has to be<\/p>\n
tried by the same Court.\n<\/p>\n
           I have carefully considered the said submissions and<\/p>\n
have gone through the record of the case.\n<\/p>\n
           The provisions of Section 482 Cr.P.C are meant to<\/p>\n
avoid abuse of process of law. So far as authority in case Hari<\/p>\n
Singh Mann, (supra) is concerned, in that case, the Hon’ble High
\n              Criminal Misc. No.6600 of 2008
\n                    in
\n             Criminal Misc.No.1622-M of 2008.\n<\/p>\n
                       -6-<\/span><\/p>\n
Court has issued direction to the police authorities to make<\/p>\n
preliminary enquiry. In compliance to the said direction, the police<\/p>\n
made enquiry and the opposite party filed Criminal Miscellaneous<\/p>\n
Petition vide which the earlier direction issued to the authorities<\/p>\n
was withdrawn. The order withdrawing the previous direction was<\/p>\n
not meant to check the mis-carriage of justice. So, in these<\/p>\n
circumstances,the Hon’ble Apex Court has held that the Court<\/p>\n
should not have invoked the provisions of Section 482 Cr.P.C. In<\/p>\n
the present case, the complaint case has been ordered to be sent to<\/p>\n
the Gram Panchayat, in view of Section 44 of the Punjab<\/p>\n
Panchayati Raj Act, 1994. The petitioners have not brought to the<\/p>\n
notice of the Court that the value of the golden chain can be more<\/p>\n
than Rs.250\/-. According to Section 44 of the said Act, the Gram<\/p>\n
Panchayat has only jurisdiction to try the case under Section 379<\/p>\n
IPC if the value of stolen property is less than Rs.250\/-. The value<\/p>\n
of golden chain, in all probability, would be more than Rs.250\/-.<\/p>\n
So, the Gram Panchayat has no jurisdiction to try the said case.<\/p>\n
Therefore, through the impugned order, the Gram Panchayat has<\/p>\n
been entrusted with the case over which it has no power.<\/p>\n
Otherwise,while passing the impugned order, it was not
\n              Criminal Misc. No.6600 of 2008
\n                    in
\n             Criminal Misc.No.1622-M of 2008.\n<\/p>\n
                       -7-<\/span><\/p>\n
specifically brought to the notice of the Court that a criminal case<\/p>\n
under Section 326 IPC was pending and according                to the<\/p>\n
provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure, cross case has to be<\/p>\n
tried by the same Court which is trying the criminal case. During<\/p>\n
the course of arguments, it was not disputed that the complaint<\/p>\n
transferred to the Gram Panchayat was a cross case of FIR No.146,<\/p>\n
referred to above. So, in these circumstances, if the impugned<\/p>\n
order is not recalled by invoking the provisions of Section 482 then<\/p>\n
there will be violation of provisions of Section 210 Cr.C.P in<\/p>\n
deciding the cross case together with the main case and the Gram<\/p>\n
Panchayat will not be able to try this case as it is not invested with<\/p>\n
the power of dealing with such a case in which the value of the<\/p>\n
property stolen is more than Rs.250\/-. So, to avoid that analogy, it<\/p>\n
is a fit case to exercise power under Section 482 Cr.P.C. Authority<\/p>\n
in case Sunita Jain (supra),is distinguishable as in that case,     a<\/p>\n
criminal complaint for demand of dowry as well as cruelty by<\/p>\n
husband, his parents, brother and sister was filed under Sections<\/p>\n
498A, 506, 406 read with Section 34, and Sections 3 and 4 of the<\/p>\n
Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961. Charges were framed against the<\/p>\n
husband, his parents, brother and sister. The accused persons filed
\n               Criminal Misc. No.6600 of 2008
\n                     in
\n              Criminal Misc.No.1622-M of 2008.\n<\/p>\n
                        -8-<\/span><\/p>\n
a Revision Petition seeking quashing of charge. The High Court<\/p>\n
partly allowed the Revision and quashed the charge framed against<\/p>\n
the brother and sister of the husband but dismissed the same<\/p>\n
against others. Special Leave Petition was also dismissed by the<\/p>\n
Hon’ble Supreme Court. Thereafter the accused filed a petition for<\/p>\n
quashing the charge which was allowed by the High Court. So, in<\/p>\n
that case, when the matter has already been decided by the High<\/p>\n
Court   and    confirmed      by    the   Supreme Court,   in   those<\/p>\n
circumstances, the Supreme Court has held that the High Court<\/p>\n
should not have invoked the provisions of Section 482 Cr.P.C.<\/p>\n
There was no abuse of process of the Court in that case. So, the<\/p>\n
Supreme Court has held that the High Court should not have<\/p>\n
invoked the provisions of Section 482 Cr.P.C in the same set of<\/p>\n
litigation. In the present case, as discussed above, to check the<\/p>\n
abuse of process of Court, order dated 22.1.2008 has to be set aside<\/p>\n
by invoking the provisions of Section 482 Cr.P.C.<\/p>\n
            While issuing notice of motion vide order dated<\/p>\n
15.2.2008, the operation of order dated 22.1.2008, was kept in<\/p>\n
abeyance.\n<\/p>\n
            Therefore, the complaint, referred to above, shall be
\n             Criminal Misc. No.6600 of 2008
\n                   in
\n            Criminal Misc.No.1622-M of 2008.\n<\/p>\n
                      -9-<\/span><\/p>\n
tried by the same Court which is dealing with the criminal case<\/p>\n
vide   First Information Report No.146 dated 7.10.2006, under<\/p>\n
Sections 326, 324, 323, 34 IPC, Police Station Dehriwal.<\/p>\n
