The accused in C. C. No. 264 of 49-50 on the file of the Special 1st Class Magistrate, Sagar, has been proceeded against under Section 355, Penal Code on a private complaint on the allegation that the complainant was shoe beaten causing him dishonour. The accused raised an objection that the present prosecution is barred under S. 403 as he had been already prosecuted for the same offence under Section 56(o) and (q), Mysore Police Act in C. C. 313 of 49-50 which ended in acquittal. The objection was rejected by the learned Magistrate who directed the case to proceed? according to law. It is against that decision that this revision petition is filed.\n<\/p>\n<p> 2. It is argued for the petitioner that the offences for which he was prosecuted by the police is substantially the same as the one complained of under Section 355, Penal Code which is not denied to have arisen out of the same transaction and as such the accused should not be tried again for the same offence.\n<\/p>\n<p> 3. Section 403(1), Criminal P.C. embodies the maxim that no person should be twice-troubled for the same cause. It incorporates the common law principle known as &#8216;autre-fois acquit&#8217; which means that no one shall be put into peril twice on the same matter on grounds of public policy. Clause (2) of Section 403 provides that<br \/>\n  &#8220;a   person acquitted or convicted of any offence may be afterwards tried for any distinct offence for which a separate charge-might have been made against him on a former trial under Section 235(1), Criminal P.C.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>  Section 235(1) enables that where more offences than one are committed from acts in the same transaction, a person may be charged with and tried at one trial for every such offence. The question for consideration is whether the two offences are distinct. The offence complained of under Section 56, Police Act concerns indecent pushing in a public place giving rise to a breach of public peace. The offence now under enquiry is that the complainant was shoe beaten causing him dishonour. In &#8217;31 Mys CCR 335&#8242; (A), it has been held that affray and hurt caused to an individual in the transaction are distinct offences and the trial of one does not bar the subsequent trial for the other. Mukherji J. in &#8211;&#8216;Ram Sukh v. Emperor&#8217;, AIR 1925 All 290 (B) held that conviction for affray is no bar for subsequent conviction for causing hurt in the affray.   A bench  of the  Bombay  High  Court have laid down that<br \/>\n  &#8220;conviction of an accused for an offence under Section  160,   Penal Code   on prosecution   initiated by   the police &#8230;..  does   not  bar the subsequent prosecution of the accused for offences under Sections. 323 and 147, Penal Code on a complaint laid by the complainant.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p> In a recent case reported in &#8212; &#8220;Thanammal v. Alamelu Ammal&#8217;, AIR 1940 Mad 224 (C) it was held that a conviction under Section 75, City Police Act is no bar for trial for an offence under Sections. 323 and 352, Penai Code. In effect, the sets of offences in each of these cases are deemed to be distinct though committed in the same transaction.\n<\/p>\n<p> 4. In this case, the accused was previously prosecuted under Section 56 (o) and (q). Clause (o) deals with the offence of indecent behaviour in a public place and clause (q) with the offence of obstructing or annoying passengers in the public street. If during the same transaction any individual is affected, he is not deprived of his personal right to proceed separately against the person offending. The offence against public peace is distinct from the offence against a particular individual committed in the same transaction and governed by Section 403(2), Criminal P.C. I am, therefore, of opinion that the acquittal under Section 56, Mysore Police. Act is no bar for a trial under Section 355, Penal Code on the private complaint.\n<\/p>\n<p> 5. In the circumstances, the Magistrate is correct in having overruled the objection; this petition, therefore, fails and is dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<p> 6. Revision dismissed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Karnataka High Court T.
