    1.            Rule. Rule returnable forthwith. Heard the learned Counsel for the<\/p>\n
    petitioner.\n<\/p>\n
    2.            By order dated 17.3.2010, this Court had directed notice to the<\/p>\n
    respondent Nos. 2 to 4 and had also directed that the notice shall indicate that the<\/p>\n
    petition may be finally disposed of at the admission stage. The notice was served<\/p>\n
    and the learned Counsel for the respondent Nos. 2 to 4 appeared and sought time.\n<\/p>\n
    On 27.4.2010, on request by the learned Counsel for the respondent nos. 2 to 4,<\/p>\n
    the matter was adjourned as a last chance. Thereafter also, on 15.6.2010, the<\/p>\n
    matter was again adjourned on the request of the learned Counsel for respondent<\/p>\n
    Nos. 2 to 4. Today, none appears for the respondent Nos. 2 to 4.\n<\/p>\n
    3.            The petitioner had filed a complaint against the respondent Nos. 2 to<\/p>\n
    4 for the offence punishable under Section 420 read with Sec. 120-B IPC. It was<\/p>\n

    contention of the petitioner in the complaint that respondents. 2 to 4 had agreed to<\/p>\n
    deliver certain goods to the petitioner on making payment of Rs.13 lakh. On that<\/p>\n
    representation, the petitioner had made payment of Rs.13 lakh, but the goods<\/p>\n
    were not supplied and when the petitioner insisted the respondents for supply, they<\/p>\n
    contended that the said amount was adjusted against dues from one Mr. Inder of<\/p>\n
    M\/s. Parul Creation, with whom the petitioner had no concern. According to the<\/p>\n
    petitioner, the respondent Nos. 2 to 4 had cheated him and made him to make<\/p>\n
    payment of Rs.13 lakh, while they had no intention to supply the goods. The<\/p>\n
    complaint was filed on 15.7.2005. Verification statement was also recorded. The<\/p>\n
    complaint was supported by a number of documents. In view of the facts and<\/p>\n
    circumstances, the learned Magistrate, 29th Court, Dadar, passed an order dated<\/p>\n
    2.3.2006 and directed N.M.Joshi Marg Police Station to carry out investigation<\/p>\n
    under Sec.202 Cr.P.C. and to submit a report.\n<\/p>\n
    4.          Later on, N.M. Joshi Marg Police Station submitted a report to the<\/p>\n
    effect that the respondents\/accused were located within the territorial jurisdiction<\/p>\n
    of MIDC Police Station, at District Thane and therefore, the MIDC Police Station,<\/p>\n
    Thane be directed to hold investigation under Sec.202 Cr.P.C. After the receipt of<\/p>\n
    the said report, by order dated 30.1.2008, the learned Metropolitran Magistrate<\/p>\n
    dismissed the complaint under Sec. 203 Cr.P.C. observing that it was a civil<\/p>\n
                                                          ::: Downloaded on – 09\/06\/2013 16:09:41 :::<\/span>

    dispute.   That order was challenged by the comlainant\/petitioner before the<\/p>\n
    Sessions Court by filing a revision application, but the revision application was<\/p>\n
    rejected. Hence, this petition.\n<\/p>\n
    5.           In view of the facts noted above, it appears that on 2.3.2006, when the<\/p>\n
    first order was passed by the then Metropolitan Magistrate, Mr. R.T.Badge, he had<\/p>\n
    considered the allegations made in the complaint, verification statement and the<\/p>\n
    documents annexed with the complaint and had formed an opinion that it was<\/p>\n
    necessary to get the matter investigated through police under Sec. 202 Cr.P.C. and<\/p>\n
    accordingly, he passed the order. However, the N.M. Joshi Marg Police Station<\/p>\n
    reported and informed the learned Magistrate that the accused were not situated in<\/p>\n
    its jurisdiction and therefore, the MIDC Police Station, Dist. Thane may be<\/p>\n
    directed to hold investigation under Sec.202 Cr.P.C. In view of this report, the<\/p>\n
    only thing which was expected from the learned Magistrate was to direct the<\/p>\n
    MIDC Police Station, Thane to hold investigation under Sec. 202 Cr.P.C. and to<\/p>\n
    submit a report. Instead of that, the Metropolitan Magistrate, Mr. R.B.Agrawal,<\/p>\n
    who had suceeded the earlier Magistrate, passed the impugned order dated<\/p>\n
    30.1.2008 dismissing the complaint under Sec.203 Cr.P.C.\n<\/p>\n
    6.            Section 202 Cr.P.C. provides that any Magistrate, on receipt of a<\/p>\n
                                                          ::: Downloaded on – 09\/06\/2013 16:09:41 :::<\/span>
\n                                      5      WP-1392-09.sxw<\/p>\n
    complaint of an offence may postpone the issue of process against the accused,<\/p>\n
    and either inquire into the case himself or direct an investigation to be made by a<\/p>\n
    police officer or such other person as he thinks fit, for the purpose of deciding<\/p>\n
    whether or not there is sufficient ground for proceeding. In the present case, the<\/p>\n
    learned Magistrate had postponed issuance of process and had directed<\/p>\n
    investigation by police under Sec. 202 Cr.P.C. Section 203 Cr. P.C. provides that<\/p>\n
    if, after considering the statements on oath, if any, of the complainant and of the<\/p>\n
    witnesses and the result of the enquiry or investigation, if any, under Sec.202, the<\/p>\n
    Magistrate is of the opinion that there is no sufficient ground for proceeding, he<\/p>\n
    shall dismiss the complaint and in every such case he shall briefly record his<\/p>\n
    reasons for so doing. From this, it is clear that if the Magistrate, while postponing<\/p>\n
    issuance of process, decides not to hold enquiry himself and to direct the police<\/p>\n
    to make investigation, he is expected to wait for the report of the investigation and<\/p>\n
    under Sec. 203, the Magistrate has to form an opinion on the basis of not only the<\/p>\n
    statements on oath of the complainant and witnesses, but also the result of such<\/p>\n
    investigation under Sec. 202 Cr.P.C. before forming an opinion as to whhether<\/p>\n
    there is or there is no sufficient ground for proceeding. Once the Magistrate has<\/p>\n
    passed an order under Sec. 202 Cr. P.C., and directed the police to hold<\/p>\n
    investigation and submit report, the Magistrate had no choice but to wait for that<\/p>\n
    report and to consider that report before any further order could be passed either<\/p>\n

    under Sec. 203 or under Sec.204 Cr.P.C. The Magistrate could not revoke the<\/p>\n
    earlier order directing police to hold the investigation. In the present case, the<\/p>\n
    earlier learned Magistrate had directed the police to hold investigation under Sec.\n<\/p>\n
    202, but that investigation was not made by N.M.Marg Police Station on the<\/p>\n
    ground that      it did not have       territorial jurisdiction and     that the territorial<\/p>\n
    jurisdiction is that MIDC Police Station, Thane. This could not be treated as a<\/p>\n
    report of the police on investigation. It was only a request by the police to transfer<\/p>\n
    the investigation from N.M.Joshi Marg Police Station to MIDC Police Station,<\/p>\n
    Thane District, which has the territorial jurisdiction. In such circumstances, only<\/p>\n
    option which was available before the Magistrate was to transfer the investigation<\/p>\n
    to MIDC Police Station, District Thane. It was not the stage when the Magistrate<\/p>\n
    could form an opinion about existence of sufficient grounds to proceed further or<\/p>\n
    otherwise.    However, it appears that the successor Magistrate straightway<\/p>\n
    dismissed the complaint holding that the dispute is of civil nature and thus<\/p>\n
    practically, he has reviewed and revoked the earlier               order      passed by his<\/p>\n
    predecessor under Sec.202 Cr.P.C.          The learned Magistrate had no power to<\/p>\n
    review and revoke the earlier order.\n<\/p>\n
    7.            Before dismissing the complaint under Sec.203, in the given<\/p>\n
    circumstances,     the   Magistrate      had   to   consider    the    police      report      on<\/p>\n
                                                              ::: Downloaded on – 09\/06\/2013 16:09:41 :::<\/span>

    investigation,but as   no such report was available, he could not have come to<\/p>\n
    conclusion that there was no substance to proceed further.\n<\/p>\n
    8.           In view of the legal position and facts, the impugned order dated<\/p>\n
    30.1.2008 dismissing the complaint under Section 203 Cr.P.C. is clearly illegal<\/p>\n
    and is liable to be set aside. It appears that the Sessions Court also did not<\/p>\n
    consider this aspect of the matter before rejecting the revision application.\n<\/p>\n
    9.<\/p>\n
                 For the aforesaid reasons, the petition is allowed and the impugned<\/p>\n
    order dated 30.1.2008 passed by the Metropolitan Magistrate, 29th Court, Dadar,<\/p>\n
    dismissing the complaint is hereby set aside.             The Criminal Case No.<\/p>\n
    192\/Misc.\/2005 is hereby restored to the file of the Metropolitan Magistrate, 29th<\/p>\n
    Court, Dadar with direction to direct the concerned police station to hold<\/p>\n
    investigation under Sec.202 Cr. P.C. and submit a report as per the earlier order<\/p>\n
    dated 2.3.2006. The Magistrate shall proceed with the matter after receipt of this<\/p>\n
    report from the police as per law.\n<\/p>\n
                 Rule made absolute accordingly.\n<\/p>\n
