Petitions<\/p>\n<p>are filed under Section 482 of Code of Criminal Procedure to<\/p>\n<p>quash the cognizance taken on a private complaint filed by the<\/p>\n<p>first respondent.\n<\/p>\n<p>       2. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioners and the<\/p>\n<p>first respondent in person were heard.\n<\/p>\n<p>       3. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners argued that<\/p>\n<p>based on the first information furnished by one Manju, Crime No.<\/p>\n<p>64 of 2007 was registered and later during the investigation, first<\/p>\n<p>respondent filed a private complaint and after a final report has<\/p>\n<p>been submitted in Crime No.64 of 2007 which was taken<\/p>\n<p>cognizance as O.S.No.171 of 2007, learned Magistrate has taken<\/p>\n<p>cognizance of the offences without conducting an enquiry under<\/p>\n<p>Section 202 of Code of Criminal Procedure or without considering<\/p>\n<p>the final report submitted. It is therefore argued that the<\/p>\n<p>cognizance taken is to be quashed in view of the statement that<\/p>\n<p>Crl.M.C Nos.2268, 2920, 3387 &amp; 3449 OF 2010  2<\/p>\n<p>the address of the petitioner in Crl.M.C 2268 of 2010 shown is not<\/p>\n<p>correct and he is not residing within the territorial limits of Judicial<\/p>\n<p>First Class Magistrate, Muvattupuzha and, therefore, it is<\/p>\n<p>mandatory that an enquiry under Section 202 of Code of Criminal<\/p>\n<p>Procedure is to be conducted before taking cognizance and as it<\/p>\n<p>was reiterated a report was called for from the learned<\/p>\n<p>Magistrate, and whether inquiry under Section 202 Code of<\/p>\n<p>Criminal Procedure was conducted.\n<\/p>\n<p>        2. The report submitted to the learned Magistrate shows<\/p>\n<p>that after recording the statement of complainant&#8217;s witness who<\/p>\n<p>was present, it was adjourned for further evidence and one more<\/p>\n<p>witness was examined. It is only thereafter learned Magistrate has<\/p>\n<p>taken cognizance of the offences.\n<\/p>\n<p>        3. First respondent made available certified copy of the<\/p>\n<p>proceeding paper in CC.126 of 2008. The proceeding paper shows<\/p>\n<p>that complaint was filed on 17.04.2007 and it was posted for<\/p>\n<p>recording statement of the complainant and witness and it was<\/p>\n<p>adjourned the adjourned date finding that Crime.No.64 of 2007<\/p>\n<p>was already registered and being investigated, the learned<\/p>\n<p>Magistrate postponed the enquiry as the investigation in<\/p>\n<p>Crime.No.64 of 2007 of Piravom Police station is to be completed.<\/p>\n<p>Crl.M.C Nos.2268, 2920, 3387 &amp; 3449 OF 2010  3<\/p>\n<p>The proceeding dated 30.11.2007 shows that a final report in<\/p>\n<p>Crime No.64 of 2007 was submitted for verification and it was<\/p>\n<p>posted to 7.12.2007 on which day the learned Magistrate has<\/p>\n<p>recorded that based on final report cognizance was taken against<\/p>\n<p>the accused Nos.3 and 4 and one Chakkappan. It is there after<\/p>\n<p>the case was posted for recording the statement of the first<\/p>\n<p>respondent under Section 244 of Code of Criminal Procedure. The<\/p>\n<p>statement of the first respondent and one witness was recorded<\/p>\n<p>on 15.12.2007. It was thereafter adjourned to further evidence on<\/p>\n<p>11.1.2008.           On that day complainant was represented,       one<\/p>\n<p>witness was present and their sworn statements were recorded<\/p>\n<p>and thereafter it was posted for hearing.              The order dated<\/p>\n<p>18.3.2008 reads:-\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>                   &#8220;Petitioner present. Perused the records. Sub<br \/>\n        Inspector of Police, Piravom has already filed charge sheet<br \/>\n        in Crime No.64 of 2007 regarding the incident against A3<br \/>\n        and A4 herein and another. Petition has made out the<br \/>\n        involvement of A1, A2, A5 to 9 here in as accused Nos.1 to<br \/>\n        7 filed as C.C.No.126 of 2008. Issue summons to accused<br \/>\n        to 24.5.2008&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>        4. Summons was issued as provided under Section 202 of<\/p>\n<p>Code of Criminal Procedure. The question is whether the said<\/p>\n<p>cognizance taken is to be quashed on the contentions raised by<\/p>\n<p>the petitioners.\n<\/p>\n<p>Crl.M.C Nos.2268, 2920, 3387 &amp; 3449 OF 2010   4<\/p>\n<p>        5. Though learned counsel appearing for petitioners<\/p>\n<p>vehemently argued that the learned Magistrate has not<\/p>\n<p>considered the final report submitted in Crime.No.64 of 2007 and<\/p>\n<p>without applying the mind, mechanically it was taken cognizance<\/p>\n<p>of the offences, on a private complaint. In the light of the<\/p>\n<p>proceeding paper recorded by 18.3.2008, I cannot agree with the<\/p>\n<p>submission. When taking cognizance on a private complaint, the<\/p>\n<p>Magistrate is not to record the reasons for taking cognizance.<\/p>\n<p>Order must reflect the fact that Magistrate applied mechanical<\/p>\n<p>mind on the relevant facts. The order dated 18.3.2008 shows that<\/p>\n<p>Magistrate has considered the relevant facts and decided to take<\/p>\n<p>cognizance as against some of the accused alone, on satisfying<\/p>\n<p>that they are also involved in the incident or they are not seen<\/p>\n<p>involved as per the final report. In such circumstances, I do not<\/p>\n<p>find it just or proper to exercise jurisdiction of this Court under<\/p>\n<p>Section 482 of Code of Criminal Procedure to quash the<\/p>\n<p>cognizance taken. Petitioners are entitled to raise all the<\/p>\n<p>contentions raised herein before the learned Magistrate and seek<\/p>\n<p>an order of discharge as provided under Section 245 (1) of Code<\/p>\n<p>of Criminal Procedure.                  The learned counsel appearing for the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner in Crl.M.C.No.3387 of 2010, Fifth accused, submitted<\/p>\n<p>Crl.M.C Nos.2268, 2920, 3387 &amp; 3449 OF 2010   5<\/p>\n<p>that she did not received any summons. So fifth accused is at<\/p>\n<p>liberty to appear before the learned Magistrate and raise all the<\/p>\n<p>contentions. The learned counsel submitted that presence of the<\/p>\n<p>petitioners may be dispensed with for that purpose. It is up to the<\/p>\n<p>petitioners to apply before Magistrate under section 205 of Code<\/p>\n<p>of Criminal Procedure to dispense with his presence. If such an<\/p>\n<p>application is filed, learned Magistrate not to insist for the<\/p>\n<p>personal presence of the petitioners for that purpose. Cri.M.Cs are<\/p>\n<p>disposed of as above.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                                           M.SASIDHARAN NAMBIAR, JUDGE.\n<\/p>\n<p>mns<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court Chincy vs State Of Kerala on 8 October, 2010 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM Crl.MC.No. 2268 of 2010() 1.
