He filed the above complaint against the first<\/p>\n<p>respondent, the then Sub Inspector of Police, Thanur Police Station<\/p>\n<p>and as against respondents 2 and 3, alleging offence under<\/p>\n<p>Sections 109, 323, 324, 354, 506(i) read with Section 34 I.P.C. It is<\/p>\n<p>with an allegation that on 13\/7\/1998 a police constable attached to<\/p>\n<p>the Thanur Police Station went to the petty shop run by the revision<\/p>\n<p>petitioner at Unnyal and summoned the revision petitioner to go<\/p>\n<p>over to the Police Station on 14\/7\/1998 along with his wife. Though<\/p>\n<p>the revision petitioner was not informed about the reason for he<\/p>\n<p>being summoned to the police station, at 9.30 a.m. on 14\/7\/1998,<\/p>\n<p>the revision petitioner along with his wife and neighbours went to<\/p>\n<p>the police station and      with     the    permission     of the police<\/p>\n<p>constable on duty he went to the room of the first respondent<\/p>\n<p>wherein respondents 2 and 3 were present. Respondents 2 and 3<\/p>\n<p>pointed out the revision petitioner and stated that he knew the<\/p>\n<p>person to whom the respondents 2 and 3 paid money.<\/p>\n<p>Crl.R.P.No.4363 of 2006<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                 2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Then, the first respondent went close to the revision petitioner<\/p>\n<p>and showered him with filthy language, hit his head against the<\/p>\n<p>table and demanded to pay a sum of Rs.15,000\/-.       Again, the<\/p>\n<p>revision petitioner was hit at his chest with a stick. When the<\/p>\n<p>wife of the revision petitioner intervened requesting not to hurt<\/p>\n<p>the revision petitioner, she was also hurt and her modesty was<\/p>\n<p>outraged by pulling out her saree .\n<\/p>\n<p>      2.   After taking cognizance process was issued. There<\/p>\n<p>after evidence was recorded under Section 244 of the Code of<\/p>\n<p>the Criminal Procedure and on finding that there are materials<\/p>\n<p>to sent the respondents for trial, a charge for offence under<\/p>\n<p>Sections 109, 323, 324, 354, 506(i) read with Section 34 I.P.C.<\/p>\n<p>was framed.      When it was read over and explained, the<\/p>\n<p>respondents 1 to 3 pleaded not guilty. Hence they were sent for<\/p>\n<p>trial. When the case was posted for cross-examination of the<\/p>\n<p>revision petitioner and the witnesses, the learned counsel for the<\/p>\n<p>first respondent submitted that sanction under Section 197 of<\/p>\n<p>the Code of Criminal Procedure was not obtained to prosecute<\/p>\n<p>the first respondent who is a public servant. On the basis of the<\/p>\n<p>submission made by the learned counsel for the first respondent,<\/p>\n<p>Crl.R.P.No.4363 of 2006<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                   3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>either side was heard. Though the revision petitioner argued<\/p>\n<p>after giving reliance to a number of decisions that sanction is<\/p>\n<p>required to prosecute a public servant only when the offence<\/p>\n<p>alleged was committed during the course of discharge of the<\/p>\n<p>official duties and in this it is not so. The learned Magistrate did<\/p>\n<p>not accept the contention. Ultimately, the first respondent was<\/p>\n<p>acquitted for want of sanction under Section 197 of the Code of<\/p>\n<p>Criminal Procedure.      Assailing the legality, correctness and<\/p>\n<p>propriety of the above order, this revision petitioner was filed.<\/p>\n<p>      3.   Having heard either side, I find that there is no proof<\/p>\n<p>at present to come to a conclusion that the revision petitioner<\/p>\n<p>and his wife were summoned to the police station through a<\/p>\n<p>police constable that too, without issuing notice as contemplated<\/p>\n<p>under Section 160 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in the<\/p>\n<p>course of discharge of official duties. Even if it is assumed the<\/p>\n<p>revision petitioner and his wife were summoned to police station<\/p>\n<p>in discharge of any official duty, so long as there is no case that<\/p>\n<p>the revision petitioner and his wife had committed any breach of<\/p>\n<p>law in the police station, the first respondent had no authority to<\/p>\n<p>assault the revision petitioner or to outrage the modesty of the<\/p>\n<p>Crl.R.P.No.4363 of 2006<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>wife of the revision petitioner or to intimidate them. There is no<\/p>\n<p>material furnished by the revision petitioner to conclude that the<\/p>\n<p>offence alleged was committed during the course of the<\/p>\n<p>discharge of the duties. Where as it is vaguely stated that the<\/p>\n<p>first respondent is a public servant and to prosecute the first<\/p>\n<p>respondent sanction under Section 197 of the Code of the<\/p>\n<p>Criminal Procedure is required. There is no finding by the lower<\/p>\n<p>court that there is any nexus between the official act and the<\/p>\n<p>offence committed by the first respondent. For that reason itself<\/p>\n<p>the order impugned is not sustainable.\n<\/p>\n<p>      4.   The   learned    counsel   for  the   first respondent<\/p>\n<p>submitted that the revision petitioner and his wife were<\/p>\n<p>summoned to the police station upon the basis of a complaint<\/p>\n<p>filed by the second and third respondent and unfortunately those<\/p>\n<p>documents were destroyed as per the directions of the<\/p>\n<p>Superintendent of Police.     However, at present, there is no<\/p>\n<p>documentary evidence. It is a matter of evidence as to whether<\/p>\n<p>the revision petitioner and his wife were summoned to the police<\/p>\n<p>station during the course of official duty or not. At present,<\/p>\n<p>there is no material to show that the revision petitioner and his<\/p>\n<p>Crl.R.P.No.4363 of 2006<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                  5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>wife were summoned to the police station and assaulted and<\/p>\n<p>outraged the modesty during the course of discharge of official<\/p>\n<p>duties. Whatever may be the reasoning for the summoning them<\/p>\n<p>to the police station so long as there is no case that the revision<\/p>\n<p>petitioner or his wife had committed breach of law or that for<\/p>\n<p>any valid reason the first respondent had to exercise force<\/p>\n<p>against the revision petitioner and his wife, at any stretch of<\/p>\n<p>imagination, it could be held that the offence alleged was<\/p>\n<p>committed during the course of the discharge of the duties. It is<\/p>\n<p>also pertinent to note that there is no case that either the<\/p>\n<p>revision petitioner is an accused who had committed a<\/p>\n<p>cognizable offence. Even if it is assumed that they are witnesses,<\/p>\n<p>the summoning of the wife of the revision petitioner to the police<\/p>\n<p>station is forbidden by the proviso to section 160 of the Code of<\/p>\n<p>Criminal Procedure. It is in violation the statutory bar she was<\/p>\n<p>summoned to the police station, assaulted and modesty was<\/p>\n<p>outraged. I fail to find that it was during the course of discharge<\/p>\n<p>of official duties. Learned magistrate palpably went wrong in<\/p>\n<p>concluding that the prosecution is bad for want of sanction under<\/p>\n<p>Section 197 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. In the above<\/p>\n<p>Crl.R.P.No.4363 of 2006<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                6<\/span><\/p>\n<p>circumstance, I find that the order impugned is not sustainable<\/p>\n<p>and it is liable to be set aside in exercise of the revisional<\/p>\n<p>powers.\n<\/p>\n<p>           In the result, the revision petition is allowed. While<\/p>\n<p>setting aside the order impugned the lower court is directed to<\/p>\n<p>proceed the trial and dispose the case in accordance with law at<\/p>\n<p>the earliest.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                                    P.S.GOPINATHAN, JUDGE<\/p>\n<p>skj.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court Abdu vs Salim on 23 November, 2009 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM Crl.Rev.Pet.No. 4363 of 2006() 1.
