This was finally settled in the case of <a href=\"\/doc\/663614\/\" id=\"a_1\">Mir Ahwad Hossein v. Mahomed Ashari<\/a> 29 C. 726 by a Full Bench of this Court. If this is the rule of law in the case of Presidency and Provincial Magistrates, where the higher Courts have been specially empowered to interfere and order fresh inquiry, and if in those cases, it is unnecessary to set aside the order of discharge or order fresh inquiry, a fortiori it is unnecessary in the case of a discharge by the High Court in the exercise of its Original Criminal Jurisdiction, where there is no authority that can interfere with the order of discharge. We do not order further inquiry in this case since it is unnecessary. It is enough for us to lay down that the Magistrate is mistaken in declining, jurisdiction which he undoubtedly has, and he is bound to consider and adjudicate on any criminal information properly laid before him against the accused.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Calcutta High Court Emperor vs Sheikh Idoo on 24 May, 1912 Equivalent citations: 15 Ind Cas 488 Bench: Holmwood, Imam JUDGMENT 1.
