Jharkhand High Court<\/div>\n
Avinash Prasad vs State Of Jharkhand & Anr on 19 November, 2009<\/div>\n
            In the High Court of Jharkhand at Ranchi\n\n                  W.P.(Cr.) No.174 of 2009\n\n            Avinash Prasad............................ Petitioner\n\n                   VERSUS\n\n            State of Jharkhand and another... Respondents\n\n            CORAM:HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE R.R.PRASAD\n\n            For the Petitioner: Mr.Indrajit Sinha\n            For the State     : Mr. R.N.Roy, G.P.III\n\n4.   19.11.09<\/pre>\n
.    On 10.8.2004 when the Forest Guard found that illegal<\/p>\n
            Mining of Iron Ore has been done in the forest area, bearing plot<\/p>\n
            no.893 under Thana no.747, leased out to M\/s. TISCO situated at<\/p>\n
            Noamundi by digging pits without taking permission of the Forest<\/p>\n
            Department, a prosecution report was submitted alleging therein<\/p>\n
            that said illegal mining has been done by M\/s. TISCO, for which its<\/p>\n
            Managing Director, Abinash Prasad          is responsible. On enquiry,<\/p>\n
            when the allegations were found to be true, the offence report<\/p>\n
            was filed before the court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate,<\/p>\n
            Chaibasa, who took cognizance of the offence under Section 33 of<\/p>\n
            the Indian Forest Act against the petitioner on 8.4.2005.<\/p>\n
            Accordingly, summons issued by the court was received by him.<\/p>\n
            Thereafter an application was filed under Section 205 of the Code<\/p>\n
            of Criminal Procedure on 23.6.2005, upon which an order was<\/p>\n
            passed on 12.9.2005 whereby personal appearance                   was<\/p>\n
            dispensed with on the condition that the petitioner would appear<\/p>\n
            physically at the stage of explanation of the accusation and at the<\/p>\n
            stage of recording statement     under Section 313 of the Code of<\/p>\n
            Criminal Procedure. On the next date i.e. on 29.9.2005 fixed in the<\/p>\n
            case an application was filed on behalf of the petitioner under<\/p>\n
            Section 251 praying therein that       substance of accusation be<\/p>\n
            explained to accused through his Lawyer. The case was adjourned
\n                             2<\/span><\/p>\n
to some other date for appearance of the petitioner. However, in<\/p>\n
the meantime, a writ application bearing W.P.(Cr.) No.282 of 2005<\/p>\n
was filed in this Court by the petitioner challenging the order taking<\/p>\n
cognizance on amongst other on the ground that the petitioner has<\/p>\n
never committed any offence under Section 33 of the Indian Forest<\/p>\n
Act, rather it was the other person who committed mischief by<\/p>\n
extracting iron ore from the leasehold area of the petitioner and<\/p>\n
for that, the petitioner had even lodged a case against the named<\/p>\n
accused. However, the said writ application was allowed to be<\/p>\n
withdrawn by this Court, vide its order dated 16.5.2006 giving<\/p>\n
liberty to the petitioner to raise all the points at the time of framing<\/p>\n
of charge.      After very long gap, an application was filed for<\/p>\n
discharge before the court below taking the same ground that it<\/p>\n
was not the petitioner, who did commit offence as alleged, rather<\/p>\n
one Mangal Singh Soren has committed all the mischief against<\/p>\n
whom, the petitioner had lodged information. The said application<\/p>\n
was dismissed by the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Chaibasa,<\/p>\n
vide its order dated 4.3.2009 holding therein that whatever point<\/p>\n
has been taken for discharge, that can be looked into only during<\/p>\n
trial and    that there has been no provision under the Code to<\/p>\n
discharge an accused in a summons case triable by the Magistrate<\/p>\n
and as such, petition filed for discharge was held to be not<\/p>\n
maintainable.\n<\/p>\n
       Being aggrieved with that order, the petitioner has filed the<\/p>\n
instant writ application.\n<\/p>\n
       Mr. Indrajit Sinha, leaned counsel appearing for the<\/p>\n
petitioner submits that learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, keeping in<\/p>\n
mind the provision as contained in Section 258 of the Code of<\/p>\n
Criminal Procedure, did hold that there has been no provision<\/p>\n
under the Code to discharge a person, who is an accused in a
\n                            3<\/span><\/p>\n
summons case instituted upon a complaint but the learned<\/p>\n
Magistrate misdirected himself in holding so as the complaint which<\/p>\n
has been referred to in Section 258 would always mean that<\/p>\n
complaint in which court has taken cognizance after examining<\/p>\n
complainant under Section 200 or after postponement of the issue<\/p>\n
of process summon is issued to a person under Section 204 of the<\/p>\n
Code of Criminal Procedure and as such, it was well within the<\/p>\n
domain of leaned Magistrate to pass order relating to discharge or<\/p>\n
dropping of the proceeding.\n<\/p>\n
       Learned counsel further submits that as per the case of the<\/p>\n
prosecution disclosed in the offence report and even in the<\/p>\n
prosecution report that illegal mining was done by the Company,<\/p>\n
namely, M\/s. TISCO petitioner being Managing Director in that<\/p>\n
event, in absence of any allegation, cannot be held vicariously<\/p>\n
liable, specially when the statute, i.e, Indian Forest Act is silent<\/p>\n
over fixing the vicarious liability upon the Managing Director and<\/p>\n
as such, prosecution is bad, in view of the decision of the Hon’ble<\/p>\n
Supreme Court rendered in a case of Maksud Saiyed vs. State<\/p>\n
of Gujarat and others [(2008) 5 SCC 668]. Thus, entire<\/p>\n
prosecution is fit to be quashed.\n<\/p>\n
       As against this, learned counsel appearing for the State<\/p>\n
submits that on account of the fact that the petitioner had earlier<\/p>\n
withdrawn the writ application, the plea which had been taken<\/p>\n
presently and was also available earlier, cannot be allowed to be<\/p>\n
agitated again and that the court below is absolutely justified in<\/p>\n
holding that there has been no provision for discharge of a person<\/p>\n
who is an accused in a summons case arising out of a complaint<\/p>\n
case and as such, the instant application is fit to be dismissed.<\/p>\n
       The submission advanced on behalf of the petitioner that the<\/p>\n
‘complaint’, reference of which is there in Section 258 of the Code
\n                             4<\/span><\/p>\n
of Criminal Procedure, relates to that complaint upon which<\/p>\n
Magistrate has taken cognizance after taking statement of the<\/p>\n
complainant or after the postponement of the issue of         process<\/p>\n
under Section 204 of the Code of Criminal Procedure is devoid of<\/p>\n
any substance, in view of the definition of ‘complaint’ given under<\/p>\n
section 2(d) of the Code of Criminal Procedure which reads as<\/p>\n
under:\n<\/p>\n
               “2(d) “Complaint” means any allegation made orally
\n               or in writing   to a Magistrate, with a view to his
\n               taking action under this Code, that some person,
\n               whether known or unknown, has committed an
\n               offence, but does not include a police report.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
         Thus, the definition of the complaint does suggest that the<\/p>\n
complaint can be made either orally or in writing. If the complaint<\/p>\n
is made in writing by a public servant acting or purporting to act in<\/p>\n
discharging of his official duties, the Magistrate in terms of sub-<\/p>\n
section (a) of Section 200 need not to examine him on oath. If the<\/p>\n
complaint in writing does constitute offence, the Magistrate would<\/p>\n
competent to take cognizance under Section 190(1)(a) of the Code<\/p>\n
of Criminal Procedure whereas if oral or written complaint is made<\/p>\n
by a person in his personal capacity and not in official capacity, the<\/p>\n
court may take cognizance after examining the complainant or may<\/p>\n
postpone the issue of the process but in both the cases, it would<\/p>\n
be a complaint and as such, the word ‘complaint’ used in Section<\/p>\n
258 of the Code of Criminal Procedure cannot have two different<\/p>\n
connotation for the purpose of Section 258 of the Code of Criminal<\/p>\n
Procedure and in that view of the matter, the trial court appears to<\/p>\n
be quite justified in holding that Code of Criminal Procedure never<\/p>\n
contemplates dropping of the proceeding or discharge of a person<\/p>\n
accused in a summons case arising out of a complaint case. In this<\/p>\n
context, case of Adalat Prasad vs. Rooplal Jindal and others<\/a><\/p>\n
[(2004) 7 SCC 338] and also a case of Subramanium
\n                                   5<\/span><\/p>\n
      Sethuraman vs State of Maharashtra and<\/a> another [ 2005<\/p>\n
      SCC (Cri) 242] be referred to wherein it has been held by the<\/p>\n
      Hon’ble Court that in a summon case it is not open to the accused<\/p>\n
      person to seek discharge.\n<\/p>\n
             Coming to other point, it does appear that the petitioner had<\/p>\n
      earlier challenged the order taking cognizance on several grounds<\/p>\n
      which application was dismissed on its withdrawal on behalf of the<\/p>\n
      petitioner and under this situation, the point raised on behalf of the<\/p>\n
      petitioner that in absence of any allegation on the part of the<\/p>\n
      petitioner of committing offence, the petitioner cannot be held<\/p>\n
      liable vicariously for the offence committed by the Company does<\/p>\n
      not deserve to be adjudicated in this application, rather it would be<\/p>\n
      open for the petitioner to raise all these points in course of trial.<\/p>\n
             Accordingly, I do not find any merit in this application.<\/p>\n
      Hence, it is dismissed.\n<\/p>\n
                                                         ( R.R. Prasad, J.)<\/p>\n
