On that day<\/p>\n<p>summons to Cws.1 to 3 were issued and case was<\/p>\n<p>posted    to  18.12.2003.    On  18.12.2003  it  was<\/p>\n<p>adjourned by notification to 26.2.2004 and     again<\/p>\n<p>adjourned by notification to 2.6.2004.

On  15.10.2004  the  case  was<\/p>\n<p>adjourned to 28.10.2004 as follows:-<\/p>\n<pre>        \"Accused present.     No witness\n\n         present.

For hearing to 25.1.2005.          On<\/p>\n<p>25.1.2005    it  was  adjourned  by  notification  to<\/p>\n<p>30.3.2005 and on that day it was adjourned to the<\/p>\n<p>next day. On that     day the order of acquittal was<\/p>\n<p>passed finding the accused not guilty.     Summons to<\/p>\n<p>Cws.4 to 10 were in fact returned to the court<\/p>\n<p>without     service  stating   that  there   was   no<\/p>\n<p>sufficient time to serve the summons.    Non bailable<\/p>\n<p>warrant issued to Cws. 4 to 10 on 19.11.2004 is<\/p>\n<p>also seen returned back to the court stating that<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">CRRP3588\/2008             5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>because of law and order warrant could not be<\/p>\n<p>issued.\n<\/p>\n<p>    6. It is absolutely clear form the records<\/p>\n<p>that   when   the Magistrate  acquitted  the  second<\/p>\n<p>respondent under section 248(1) of Code of Criminal<\/p>\n<p>Procedure learned Magistrate did not verify the<\/p>\n<p>records to see whether the summons or warrant<\/p>\n<p>issued to the prosecution witnesses were served or<\/p>\n<p>executed.      When summons were not served on the<\/p>\n<p>accused and even the bailable warrant       returned<\/p>\n<p>back to the court without service stating that<\/p>\n<p>because of law and order     police could not serve<\/p>\n<p>the summons or execute the warrant,       Magistrate<\/p>\n<p>should have directed service of summons on       the<\/p>\n<p>prosecution witnesses and only if inspite of the<\/p>\n<p>service they did not appear,   an order of acquittal<\/p>\n<p>for want of evidence could have been passed.     The<\/p>\n<p>proceedings   establish  that    learned  Magistrate<\/p>\n<p>illegally acquitted    second respondent on 31.3.05.<\/p>\n<p>       The Criminal Revision Petition is allowed.<\/p>\n<p>The order of acquittal is   set aside.
