This revision is challenge of order dated 6.4.2009 on<\/p>\n<p>C.M.P.No.1286 of 2009 in C.C. No.1018 of 1998 of the court of learned<\/p>\n<p>Judicial First Class Magistrate-I, Kozhikode. On a complaint preferred<\/p>\n<p>by respondent No.1, petitioner faced trial for offence punishable under<\/p>\n<p>Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act (for short, &#8220;the Act&#8221;).<\/p>\n<p>Petitioner was acquitted by the learned magistrate as per judgment<\/p>\n<p>dated 17.2.2001. That judgment was challenged by respondent No.1<\/p>\n<p>in this Court in Crl. Appeal No.471 of 2001.            Learned Single Judge<\/p>\n<p>allowed the appeal and remitted the case to the court of learned<\/p>\n<p>magistrate with certain directions. Thereafter there was an attempt on<\/p>\n<p>the part of petitioner        to adduce further evidence by recalling<\/p>\n<p>respondent No.1 and by examining petitioner himself as a witness by<\/p>\n<p>filing C.M.P. No.1286 of 2009. That petition was objected to by<\/p>\n<p>respondent No.1 and by the impugned order that petition was<\/p>\n<p>dismissed by the learned magistrate.           Hence the revision.<\/p>\n<p>      3.     Petition on which the impugned order is passed, obviously<\/p>\n<p>CRL. R.P. No.1485 of 2009<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                  -: 2 :-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>being under Section 311 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (for short,<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;the Code&#8221;) by which recalling of respondent No.1 and opportunity to<\/p>\n<p>examine petitioner himself as a witness was requested for, impugned<\/p>\n<p>order is one which attracted Sec.397(2) of the Code in so far as it is<\/p>\n<p>interlocutory in character.  Decision on C.M.P. No.1286 either way will<\/p>\n<p>not terminate the proceeding. A revision under Sec.397 and 401 of<\/p>\n<p>the Code is not maintainable against such an order. But at this stage<\/p>\n<p>after revision has been admitted, I do not consider it necessary to<\/p>\n<p>convert the same as Criminal Miscellaneous Case since this Court can<\/p>\n<p>invoke the power under Sec.482 of the Code for the disposal of this<\/p>\n<p>revision. Question for consideration is whether the prayer of petitioner<\/p>\n<p>to reopen the case is maintainable.\n<\/p>\n<p>      4.    Respondent No.1 contends that        there is no scope for<\/p>\n<p>adducing further evidence on the issue regarding liability of petitioner<\/p>\n<p>since this Court in appeal against acquittal has found   his acquittal is<\/p>\n<p>wrong, he is liable for the commission of the offence and the remand<\/p>\n<p>was only for the purpose of pronouncing proper sentence.        Learned<\/p>\n<p>counsel for petitioner contends that petitioner had not received any<\/p>\n<p>notice in the appeal. In this proceeding it is unnecessary to go into the<\/p>\n<p>question whether petitioner was served with notice on Crl. Appeal<\/p>\n<p>No.471 of 2001. That judgment has become final and hence court<\/p>\n<p>below was bound by it. Nor can this Court in this proceeding interfere<\/p>\n<p>CRL. R.P. No.1485 of 2009<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                    -: 3 :-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>with the judgment in Crl. Appeal No.471 of 2001 for any reason<\/p>\n<p>whatsoever. Therefore the correctness of the order impugned has to<\/p>\n<p>be decided with reference to the judgment in Crl. Appeal No.471 of<\/p>\n<p>2001.\n<\/p>\n<p>      5.    A copy of the judgment in Crl. Appeal No.471 of 2001 is<\/p>\n<p>appended to this revision.       It is seen that this Court found that<\/p>\n<p>acquittal of petitioner is not justified on the evidence on record.    In<\/p>\n<p>paragraph 10 of the judgment this Court observed that the contention<\/p>\n<p>of the petitioner that cheques were not issued for discharge of a<\/p>\n<p>legally recoverable debt\/liability as the company itself was not<\/p>\n<p>impleaded in the complaint and the          finding to that effect by the<\/p>\n<p>learned magistrate are not correct and are wholly untenable since<\/p>\n<p>petitioner had not     raised such a contention in the trial court.    In<\/p>\n<p>paragraph 11 of the judgment it was observed that learned magistrate<\/p>\n<p>was not correct in holding that cheques were not issued in discharge of<\/p>\n<p>any debt\/liability and that the presumption under Sec.118 of the Act<\/p>\n<p>was in favour of respondent No.1. In paragraph 13 it is stated that<\/p>\n<p>after carefully considering and evaluating the entire materials<\/p>\n<p>available on record this Court was satisfied that learned magistrate<\/p>\n<p>was not justified in holding that petitioner was not guilty and therefore<\/p>\n<p>the finding of not guilty is set aside. Learned Judge directed that &#8220;case<\/p>\n<p>is remitted back to the trial court with a direction to pass appropriate<\/p>\n<p>CRL. R.P. No.1485 of 2009<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                  -: 4 :-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>orders on sentence after hearing accused and complainant&#8221;.      In other<\/p>\n<p>words going by the judgment it is seen that remand was for the limited<\/p>\n<p>purpose of passing appropriate orders on sentence from which it is<\/p>\n<p>clear that the petitioner was found guilty under Section 138 of the Act.<\/p>\n<p>Section 386(a) of the Code authorises the appellate court while dealing<\/p>\n<p>with an appeal from an order of acquittal to reverse the order and find<\/p>\n<p>the accused guilty.    Therefore there was no scope for requesting the<\/p>\n<p>magistrate    to reopen the case to enable petitioner         to recall<\/p>\n<p>respondent No.1 and adduce evidence to show that he has not issued<\/p>\n<p>the cheques for discharge of the liability.        Learned magistrate<\/p>\n<p>observed that on the facts also petition cannot be sustained since<\/p>\n<p>there was no case that after filing of the appeal         liability was<\/p>\n<p>discharged.    Either way I do not find reason to interfere with the<\/p>\n<p>impugned order. There is no merit in the revision and is liable to be<\/p>\n<p>dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<p>      Revision Petition is dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                                            THOMAS P.JOSEPH, JUDGE.\n<\/p>\n<p>vsv<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court P.Balasubramanyan vs R.Jayanthy Menon on 27 July, 2009 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM Crl.Rev.Pet.No. 1485 of 2009() 1.
