JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR<\/p>\n<p>Rakesh Kumar, J.                      The sole petitioner, while invoking inherent jurisdiction<\/p>\n<p>                     of this Court under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, has<\/p>\n<p>                     prayed for quashing of an order dated 21.12.2006, passed by the learned<\/p>\n<p>                     Chief Judicial Magistrate, Patna in G.R. No.980 of 1999\/ Tr.No.82 of<\/p>\n<p>                     1996, whereby it was ordered to frame charge under Section 147 of the<\/p>\n<p>                     Indian Penal Code. The petitioner has also prayed for quashing of the order<\/p>\n<p>                     dated 27.11.2000 passed by the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, whereby<\/p>\n<p>                     the petition filed on behalf of the petitioner under Section 300(1) of the<\/p>\n<p>                     Code of Criminal Procedure was rejected.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                      2. Short fact of the case is that on 10.3.1990, three F.I.Rs<\/p>\n<p>                     were lodged in Shri Krishna Puri Police Station almost in a connected<\/p>\n<p>                     occurrence. The first case i.e. S.K. Puri P.S. Case No.31 of 1990 was<\/p>\n<p>                     registered for the offences under Sections 146, 148, 149, 323, 307, 336,<\/p>\n<p>                     353 of the Indian Penal Code, Section 27 of the Arms Act and Sections 3<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                          2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>and 5 of the Damage to Public         Property Act against Satya Narayan<\/p>\n<p>Mishra and 10 others including the petitioner and 20-25 unknown persons.<\/p>\n<p>On the same day, the second F.I.R. vide S.K. Puri P.S. Case No.32 of<\/p>\n<p>1990 was registered against Satya Narayan Mishra, in which the petitioner<\/p>\n<p>was the informant and in third case i.e. S.K. Puri P.S. Case No.33 of 1990,<\/p>\n<p>the petitioner was made accused and Satya Narayan Mishra was the<\/p>\n<p>informant.\n<\/p>\n<p>                 3. The present case is in relation to S.K. Puri P.S. Case<\/p>\n<p>No.31 of 1999, in which 11 persons were named in the F.I.R. along with<\/p>\n<p>20-25 unknown persons. The said F.I.R. was lodged on the self-statement<\/p>\n<p>of the Officer Incharge of Shri Krishna Police Station, wherein it was<\/p>\n<p>disclosed by the informant that on the same day i.e. on 10.3.1999 at 9.00<\/p>\n<p>P.M. he heard a rumour that there was tension in between the parties over a<\/p>\n<p>disputed land and both the parties variously armed with fire-arms had<\/p>\n<p>assembled there and there was apprehension of causing blood-shed. After<\/p>\n<p>getting the said information, the informant i.e. the Officer Incharge of Shri<\/p>\n<p>Krishna Puri Police Station along with police force proceeded to the place<\/p>\n<p>of occurrence through Police Mobile No.BPZ 8973. As he proceeded<\/p>\n<p>towards the place of occurrence i.e. Plot No.901, Khata No.50, situated<\/p>\n<p>adjacent to the north of Tapasya Market, over which there was already a<\/p>\n<p>proceeding under Section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure between<\/p>\n<p>the petitioner and one Satya Narayan Mishra, the informant noticed that<\/p>\n<p>both the parties along with their men variously armed with fire arms had<\/p>\n<p>assembled and were throwing brick bats upon each other. On chase, the<\/p>\n<p>police apprehended two persons armed with loaded rifle and gun and they<\/p>\n<p>disclosed their names and both the persons, who were apprehended, were<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                          3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>men of Satya Narayan Mishra . The police also apprehended Satya<\/p>\n<p>Nartayan Mishra in injured condition at the place of occurrence. The<\/p>\n<p>petitioner was also apprehended. However, the men of the petitioner fled<\/p>\n<p>away. It was disclosed by the informant that while the apprehended<\/p>\n<p>persons including the petitioner were being carried by the police in the<\/p>\n<p>police Jeep, 25-30 rioters (associates of Satya Narayan Mishra) again<\/p>\n<p>assembled there and started pelting stones and brick-bats on the Police<\/p>\n<p>Jeep, wherein the glass of the Jeep was broken and the driver of the said<\/p>\n<p>Jeep received serious injuries, whereby he became unconscious. All the<\/p>\n<p>rioters were challenging for releasing the accused Satya Narayan Mishra.<\/p>\n<p>In the meanwhile, Special Mobile and Mobile of Budha Colony arrived<\/p>\n<p>there and with the help of other Force, the police party could arrested some<\/p>\n<p>of the accused persons and also seized one motorcycle of the accused,<\/p>\n<p>which was left by the accused persons, while fleeing away. On the basis of<\/p>\n<p>the self-statement of the Officer Incharge of Shri Krishnapuri Police<\/p>\n<p>Station an F.I.R. vide S.K. Puri P.S. Case No.31 of 1990 was registered<\/p>\n<p>and the police, thereafter, investigated the case. Similarly, on the basis of<\/p>\n<p>fardbeyan of the petitioner one another F.I.R. vide Shastri Nagar P.S. Case<\/p>\n<p>No.32 of 1990 was registered against Satya Narayan Mishra and others and<\/p>\n<p>third F.I.R. was lodged on the basis of the fardbeyan of Satya Narayan<\/p>\n<p>Mishra against the petitioner and others.\n<\/p>\n<p>                 4. In S.K. Puri P.S. Case No.31 of 1999, after<\/p>\n<p>investigation Chargesheet was submitted against all the eleven accused<\/p>\n<p>persons including the petitioner for the offences under Sections<\/p>\n<p>147,148,149,307, 323\/426 of the Indian Penal Code. After the order of<\/p>\n<p>cognizance and supply of police papers, the case was committed to the<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                          4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Court of Session. However, at the stage of charge, the learned 11th Addl.<\/p>\n<p>Sessions Judge,Patna    considered that no case under Section 307 of the<\/p>\n<p>Indian Penal Code was made out and, as such, the learned Addl.Sessions<\/p>\n<p>Judge remitted back the matter to the court of Magistrate for trial . At the<\/p>\n<p>stage of charge, a discharge petition was filed on behalf of the petitioner,<\/p>\n<p>which was rejected on 4.8.2005 by the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate,<\/p>\n<p>Patna.\n<\/p>\n<p>                 5. The petitioner aggrieved with the rejection of<\/p>\n<p>discharge petition approached this Court by filing a quashing application<\/p>\n<p>vide Cr.Misc.No.12954 of 1995 and a Bench of this Court vide its order<\/p>\n<p>dated 31.10.1995     ( Annexure-6) quashed the order of rejection of<\/p>\n<p>discharge petition passed by the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate and<\/p>\n<p>remitted back the matter to the learned Magistrate with a direction to pass<\/p>\n<p>afresh order in accordance with law after giving opportunity of hearing<\/p>\n<p>to the petitioner. Accordingly, the quashing application was allowed. After<\/p>\n<p>the case was remitted back to the learned Magistrate, the petitioner filed a<\/p>\n<p>detailed discharge petition. However, by the impugned order i.e. the order<\/p>\n<p>dated 21.12.1996 again rejected the discharge petition and direct for<\/p>\n<p>framing of the charge under Section 147 of the Indian Penal Code.<\/p>\n<p>                 6. The petitioner while pressing the discharge petition<\/p>\n<p>before the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate had argued that in relation to<\/p>\n<p>the same occurrence, the petitioner was also made accused in S.K. Puri<\/p>\n<p>P.S.Case No.33 of 1990 , which was registered for offences under Sections<\/p>\n<p>147,323, 337 , 338 , 426 of the Indian Penal Code. In that case the police<\/p>\n<p>had submitted chargesheet under Section 307 and other allied Sections of<\/p>\n<p>the Indian Penal Code and after cognizance and completion of processes<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                          5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>under Section 207 of the Code of Criminal Procedure            the case was<\/p>\n<p>committed to the court of Session and the petitioner was put on trial vide<\/p>\n<p>Sessions Trial No.442 of 1999 and the petitioner after full-fledged trial was<\/p>\n<p>acquitted from all the charges. Since the learned trial Judge was of the<\/p>\n<p>opinion that the petitioner had purchased the suit land and it was proved<\/p>\n<p>that he had only resisted the attempt of the informant ( Satya Narayan<\/p>\n<p>Mishra ) to forcibly occupy the land in the right of his private defence of<\/p>\n<p>his property and the learned trial Judge also found that the force used was<\/p>\n<p>not excessive keeping in view the evidence on record relating to the<\/p>\n<p>injuries , which were itself doubtful and finally by Judgment           dated<\/p>\n<p>25.1.1992 the petitioner got a clean acquittal. Accordingly, it was prayed<\/p>\n<p>on behalf of the petitioner that for the same offence, the petitioner may not<\/p>\n<p>be put on second trial. However, the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate by<\/p>\n<p>its order dated 21.12.1996 again rejected the petition for discharge. Even<\/p>\n<p>after rejection of discharge petition in the year 1996, there was no progress<\/p>\n<p>in the trial and, thereafter, on behalf of the petitioner one another petition<\/p>\n<p>was filed in the court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, in view of<\/p>\n<p>Section 221 (2) and Section 300 (1) of the Code of Criminal Procedure for<\/p>\n<p>discharging the petitioner on the ground that for the same offence the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner was put on trial and, thereafter he got an order of acquittal.<\/p>\n<p>However,    the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate vide its order dated<\/p>\n<p>27.11.2000 rejected the said petition merely on the ground that the learned<\/p>\n<p>Magistrate was not having jurisdiction to review or recall its earlier order<\/p>\n<p>keeping in view the fact that the petitioner&#8217;s discharge petition was already<\/p>\n<p>rejected finally by his order dated 21.12.1996.\n<\/p>\n<p>                  7. Aggrieved with the order dated 27.11.2000 as well as<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                          6<\/span><\/p>\n<p>the order dated 21.11.1996 passed by the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate,<\/p>\n<p>the petitioner approached this Court by filing the present petition, which<\/p>\n<p>was admitted for hearing on 20.11.2001. While admitting, it was directed<\/p>\n<p>that during the pendency of this application further proceeding in G.R.<\/p>\n<p>Case No.980 of 1990\/ T\/R.No.82 of 1996, pending in the court of Chief<\/p>\n<p>Judicial Magistrate, Patna, shall remain stayed. The order of stay is still<\/p>\n<p>continuing.\n<\/p>\n<p>                 8. Sri Ajay Kumar Thakur, learned counsel for the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner, while challenging both the orders submits that the learned<\/p>\n<p>Chief Judicial Magistrate in its order dated 21.12.1996 has grossly erred in<\/p>\n<p>observing that the petitioner was not earlier charged or tried       for the<\/p>\n<p>offence under Section 147 of the Indian Penal Code . It was submitted by<\/p>\n<p>Sri Thakur, learned counsel for the petitioner that for the same occurrence,<\/p>\n<p>three F.I.Rs were lodged. Amongst them, one of the case was S.K. Puri<\/p>\n<p>P.S. Case No.33 of 1990, in which the petitioner was put on trial and<\/p>\n<p>finally, the petitioner got a Judgment of acquittal on 25th January,1992 in<\/p>\n<p>Sessions Trial No.442 of 1990( S.K. Puri P.S. Case No.33 of 1990) passed<\/p>\n<p>by the learned Second Addl. Sessions Judge, Patna. It was argued that in<\/p>\n<p>one occurrence if the petitioner was already put on trial and finally got<\/p>\n<p>order of acquittal, there was no ground for the learned Chief Judicial<\/p>\n<p>Magistrate for rejecting the petition filed on behalf of the petitioner under<\/p>\n<p>Section 300 (1) of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Sri Thakur, learned<\/p>\n<p>counsel for the petitioner has emphasized that the provision under Section<\/p>\n<p>300 (1) of the Code of Criminal Procedure is mandatory, which says that<\/p>\n<p>once a person is tried by a court of competent jurisdiction for an offence<\/p>\n<p>and acquitted of such charge and, such, acquittal remains in force, he shall<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                          7<\/span><\/p>\n<p>not be liable to be again tried for the same offence and for the same facts<\/p>\n<p>for any other offence. Sri Thakur, learned counsel for the petitioner has<\/p>\n<p>elaborately argued that offence in one occurrence permits only one<\/p>\n<p>prosecution and once the petitioner was prosecuted for an occurrence in the<\/p>\n<p>same transaction at subsequent stage, he cannot be directed to face trial for<\/p>\n<p>any offence for the same transaction. In support of his arguments , learned<\/p>\n<p>counsel for the petitioner has heavily relied on Judgments reported in AIR<\/p>\n<p>1954 SC 375, ( S.A.Venkataraman Vs. Union of India and Anr.), AIR<\/p>\n<p>1961 SC 583 ( Surajpal Singh Vs. State of Uttar Pradesh) and AIR 1962<\/p>\n<p>SC 1246 ( Jawala Ram &amp; others Vs. The State of Pepsu (now Punjab) and<\/p>\n<p>others. It was also submitted by Sri Thakur, learned counsel for the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner that after the Judgment of acquittal dated 27.10.1990 passed by<\/p>\n<p>the learned Second Addl. Sessions Judge, Patna in Sessions Trial No.442<\/p>\n<p>of 1990, the informant of the case, namely, Satya Narayan Mishra had<\/p>\n<p>preferred a revision vide Cr.Revision No.103 of 1992, which too stood<\/p>\n<p>dismissed by this Court on 17.7.1992 (Annexure-4). According to Sri<\/p>\n<p>Thakur, learned counsel for the petitioner acquittal of the petitioner in<\/p>\n<p>Sessions Trial No.442 of 1990 ( S.K. Puri P.S. Case No.33 of 1990) had<\/p>\n<p>attained its finality and thereafter no prosecution of the petitioner for the<\/p>\n<p>same offence would be permissible and both the impugned orders as well<\/p>\n<p>as entire criminal proceeding so far as petitioner is concerned, is liable to<\/p>\n<p>be set aside.\n<\/p>\n<p>          9. Smt. Indu Bala Pandey, learned Addl.Public Prosecutor,<\/p>\n<p>appearing on behalf of the State has strongly opposed the prayer of the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner. It was submitted by Smt. Pandey, learned Addl.Public<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutor that it was a serious case, in which while the police after<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                            8<\/span><\/p>\n<p>apprehending the accused persons including the petitioner was carrying<\/p>\n<p>them on police Jeep, the Police party was attacked by the rioters that too<\/p>\n<p>for getting the apprehended accused persons released and as such, keeping<\/p>\n<p>in view the seriousness of the offence, this Court may not interfere with<\/p>\n<p>either of the orders. It was further submitted that so far as the order dated<\/p>\n<p>27.11.2000 passed by the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate is concerned, it<\/p>\n<p>was passed in accordance with the statutory provisions contained in the<\/p>\n<p>Code of Criminal Procedure. It was submitted that there is restriction for<\/p>\n<p>reviewing or recalling any order under the Code of Criminal Procedure<\/p>\n<p>and, as such, the learned Magistrate has rightly not passed an order for<\/p>\n<p>recalling the earlier order.\n<\/p>\n<p>           10. Besides hearing learned counsel for the parties, I have also<\/p>\n<p>perused the materials available on record. So far as argument advanced by<\/p>\n<p>Sri Thakur, learned counsel for the petitioner that for the same offence the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner was put on trial and thereafter acquitted and, as such, he may not<\/p>\n<p>be put on trial so far as the second case is concerned, the Court is of the<\/p>\n<p>opinion that in view of the facts and circumstances of the present case, the<\/p>\n<p>said argument has got no force. In the present case, three F.I.Rs. for<\/p>\n<p>distinct offence were lodged. In S.K. Puri P.S. Case No.32 of 1990, the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner himself was the informant, in which Satya Narayan Mishra and<\/p>\n<p>others were made accused on an allegation that the accused persons being<\/p>\n<p>aggressors had assembled unlawfully and committed the offence.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, in S.K. Puri P.S. Case No.33 of 1990, the petitioner was made<\/p>\n<p>accused on the basis of fardbeyan of Satya Narayan Mishra that the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner and others had formed unlawful assembly and attacked the<\/p>\n<p>informant of that case. So far as the present case i.e. S.K. Puri P.S. Case<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                           9<\/span><\/p>\n<p>No.31 of 1990 is concerned, there is specific allegation that while the<\/p>\n<p>apprehended accused persons were being carried in the Police Jeep, the<\/p>\n<p>Police Party was attacked by the men of accused persons i.e. rioters and, as<\/p>\n<p>such, after examining the fact of three cases, the present case cannot be<\/p>\n<p>categorized as a case of same offence or committed in same transaction.<\/p>\n<p>The present occurrence was entirely different and distinct, in which police<\/p>\n<p>party was attacked by the accused persons. Accordingly, the plea of the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner that he was already put on trial has got no relevance for just<\/p>\n<p>adjudication in the present case. However, after going through the facts<\/p>\n<p>and material of the present case, the Court is of the opinion that on merit<\/p>\n<p>the petitioner deserves some relief from this Court. In the present case, i.e.<\/p>\n<p>S.K. Puri P.S. Case No.31 of 1990, the informant\/ Officer Incharge had<\/p>\n<p>made a categorical statement that while he approached the place of<\/p>\n<p>occurrence, accused persons, who were indulged in throwing stones and<\/p>\n<p>brick-bats on each other over a land over which proceeding under Section<\/p>\n<p>144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure was going on, all the accused<\/p>\n<p>persons after noticing the police started fleeing away. However, some of<\/p>\n<p>the accused persons including the petitioner were apprehended by the<\/p>\n<p>police and, thereafter, they were kept in the Police Jeep and were being<\/p>\n<p>carried to the Police Station. It was categorical stand of the Officer<\/p>\n<p>Incharge that in the occurrence, all the men of the petitioner had fled away<\/p>\n<p>and number of accused persons, who were arrested, were men of Satya<\/p>\n<p>Narayan Mishra and all were kept in the Jeep. Thereafter, 20-25 men of<\/p>\n<p>accused Satya Narayan Mishra started pelting stones on the police jeep<\/p>\n<p>challenging for release of Satya Narayan Mishra.

Of course, while hearing a petition under Section 482 of the<\/p>\n<p>                      Code of Criminal Procedure, it is not desirable or permissible for this<\/p>\n<p>                      Court to record such opinion, but keeping in view the over all facts and<\/p>\n<p>                      circumstances, particularly the fact that in one case, the petitioner was<\/p>\n<p>                      already tried and acquitted and the fact that in the present case alleged<\/p>\n<p>                      occurrence had taken place about 20 years back in the year 1990 , without<\/p>\n<p>                      any progress in the trial, it would not be appropriate for this Court to direct<\/p>\n<p>                      that the petitioner to appear before the Court below for framing of the<\/p>\n<p>                      charge and face trial.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                 11. In view of the facts and circumstances of the present case,<\/p>\n<p>                      the Court is of the opinion that allowing the proceeding before the court<\/p>\n<p>                      below in S.K.Puri P.S. Case No.31 of 1990 would amount to allowing<\/p>\n<p>                      abuse of the process of the Court and, as such, it is a fit case for<\/p>\n<p>                      interference with the impugned orders.
