Subsequently,<\/p>\n<p>on 22.10.07, Nov. 07, Jan, 08 and Feb.08, opportunity for evidence per<\/p>\n<p>asking of petitioner afforded &#8211; on 25.3.08 posted for arguments on final<\/p>\n<p>report.\n<\/p>\n<p>         Petitioner presented an application on 16.4.08 under Section 19 of<\/p>\n<p>the Prevention of Corruption Act and learned Judge vide impugned order<\/p>\n<p>dated 18.6.08, rejecting petitioner&#8217;s application requesting for forwarding<\/p>\n<p>matter for prosecution sanction accepted submitted negative final report.<\/p>\n<p>         Petitioner is aggrieved of the above order &#8211; requests that setting<\/p>\n<p>aside the above order, trial Court be directed to proceed against the<br \/>\n                                      S.B.Criminal Revision Petition No.678\/08<br \/>\n                                   Ranchhoda Ram v. The State &amp; Likhamaram<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                     3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>accused according to law and also direction to department for according<\/p>\n<p>sanction for prosecution.\n<\/p>\n<p>      Learned counsel for the petitioner argued that pending proceedings<\/p>\n<p>of police report, petitioner&#8217;s protest application was posted for evidence of<\/p>\n<p>petitioner and once a complaint under Section 200 Cr.P.C. is posted for<\/p>\n<p>recording statement, it is a must for Court to record petitioner and his<\/p>\n<p>witnesses&#8217; statements.      Argued that learned Judge refusing to record<\/p>\n<p>statements and proceeding to hear negative final report and accepting it is<\/p>\n<p>quite contrary to law. Argued that petitioner requested for forwarding the<\/p>\n<p>matter to sanctioning authority to accord sanction of prosecution, and the<\/p>\n<p>order rejecting application is contrary to law and without     any plausible<\/p>\n<p>reason.\n<\/p>\n<p>      On behalf of petitioner argued that on petitioner&#8217;s complaint, the<\/p>\n<p>proceedings were initiated and he aggrieved of the final report preferred<\/p>\n<p>protest petition a complaint and learned Judge ought to have proceeded<\/p>\n<p>per Sections 200 to 202 Cr.P.C.\n<\/p>\n<p>      Learned Public Prosecutor submitted that petitioner&#8217;s complaint is<\/p>\n<p>for cognizance of offences punishable under Prevention of Corruption Act<\/p>\n<p>and cognizance for the offence under the Act cannot be taken without<\/p>\n<p>sanction under Section 19. Submitted that investigating agency, after<\/p>\n<p>extensive investigation, arrived at conclusion of non-demand and<\/p>\n<p>acceptance of bribe by the Sarpanch. Submitted that the order of the<br \/>\n                                      S.B.Criminal Revision Petition No.678\/08<br \/>\n                                   Ranchhoda Ram v. The State &amp; Likhamaram<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                      4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>learned Sessions Judge justified also on facts and as per law.<\/p>\n<p>       Petitioner&#8217;s contention is that posting the complaint for recording of<\/p>\n<p>statements, the Court has already taken cognizance of the offence.<\/p>\n<p>       Section 200 provides that &#8220;a Magistrate taking cognizance or an<\/p>\n<p>offence on complaint shall examine upon oath the complaint and<\/p>\n<p>witnesses present&#8221;. Thus, simultaneous to cognizance, if any, has to be<\/p>\n<p>examination of the complainant. S. 200 speaks of taking cognizance and<\/p>\n<p>for this, examination of complainant is essential. Thus, it is not always<\/p>\n<p>that cognizance and examination is not a continuing or simultaneous act.<\/p>\n<p>This examination is not merely a formality more so in such a contingency<\/p>\n<p>when FR is submitted. If cognizance is on complaint, the same can only<\/p>\n<p>be on examination of complainant or on facts. The object of examination<\/p>\n<p>is verification and also justifiability of complaint. It is also meant to find<\/p>\n<p>out whether it is frivolous or vexatious.\n<\/p>\n<p>       Proceedings were registered for the offence of Prevention of<\/p>\n<p>Corruption Act. Complaint, i.e., protest application       of the petitioner<\/p>\n<p>preferred before Special Judge accompanied with supporting affidavits of<\/p>\n<p>some persons is     for rejecting final report and registering case under<\/p>\n<p>Sections 7, &amp; 13 (1) (D) (2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988.<\/p>\n<p>       Section 19 of the Prevention of Corruption Act bars cognizance<\/p>\n<p>without    previous sanction of the competent authority. The section<\/p>\n<p>provides that &#8220;no Court shall take cognizance of an offence punishable<br \/>\n                                     S.B.Criminal Revision Petition No.678\/08<br \/>\n                                  Ranchhoda Ram v. The State &amp; Likhamaram<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                     5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>under Sections 7, 10, 11, 13 and 15 alleged to have been committed by a<\/p>\n<p>public servant except with the previous sanction.&#8221; Thus, prior to taking<\/p>\n<p>cognizance, sanction is a must. In that view also and particularly when<\/p>\n<p>final report is submitted, ( and accepted by Court) seems no illegality in<\/p>\n<p>order impugned.\n<\/p>\n<p>      Coming to question of forwarding the papers for prosecution<\/p>\n<p>sanction, it will seem that learned Judge elaborately dealing with the<\/p>\n<p>matter and on alleged facts and reasons assigned by the investigating<\/p>\n<p>agency, has accepted the final report. In that view of the matter, learned<\/p>\n<p>trial Judge committed no error in refusing to direct investigating agency<\/p>\n<p>for obtaining sanction.\n<\/p>\n<p>      In above view of the matter, the petition deserves to be rejected.<\/p>\n<p>However, it is made clear that petitioner is not precluded from taking or<\/p>\n<p>initiating any other proceeding per law.\n<\/p>\n<p>      Accordingly, the petition is rejected. However, the petitioner, if he<\/p>\n<p>so desires and feels necessity, can approach the department.<\/p>\n<p>                                                      (C. M.
