The first<\/p>\n<p>petitioner has admittedly been served with a copy of the order .<\/p>\n<p>Why have the petitioners come before this Court with this<\/p>\n<p>petition under Article 226 of the Constitution without and before<\/p>\n<p>approaching the revisional court to challenge Ext.P5 order in<\/p>\n<p>accordance with law? No satisfactory explanations are offered.<\/p>\n<p>      2.    It is submitted that the other petitioners being not<\/p>\n<p>parties to the proceedings, have not been served with the copy of<\/p>\n<p>the order under Section 138 Cr.P.C. Had they applied for a<\/p>\n<p>copy? It is admitted that they have not applied for. Admittedly<\/p>\n<p>the first petitioner has been served with the order. If they can<\/p>\n<p>W.P.C.No. 22348 of 2008<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                    2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>come together before this Court, why are they not making use of the<\/p>\n<p>order issued to the first petitioner.   For this also   no satisfactory<\/p>\n<p>explanation is offered. The counsel submits that there may atleast be a<\/p>\n<p>direction that until the petitioners approach the court of revision and<\/p>\n<p>obtain orders, the impugned order may not be executed.<\/p>\n<p>      3. I am unable to agree. Having come to the wrong forum<\/p>\n<p>without any valid explanation, the petitioners cannot request the said<\/p>\n<p>forum to keep the order in abeyance until they go to the right forum<\/p>\n<p>and initiate proceedings. The petitioners must immediately rush to the<\/p>\n<p>revisional court and challenge the order. I am not satisfied that the<\/p>\n<p>jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution can or ought to be<\/p>\n<p>invoked in favour of the petitioners.\n<\/p>\n<p>      This Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed.<\/p>\n<p>                                             (R.
