            Present petition has been filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. by<\/p>\n
Varinder Mohan son of Ram Sarup seeking quashing of Kalandra under<\/p>\n
Section 182 Cr.P.C..\n<\/p>\n
            Petitioner – Varinder Mohan lodged Daily Diary Report,<\/p>\n
Annexure P-3 at Police Station Lambra. It was stated in the Daily Diary<\/p>\n
Report that on the night of 3\/4.7.2005 he was driving his Scorpio bearing<\/p>\n
registration No.PB-08-AK-6280 and was coming from Nakodar to Lambra.<\/p>\n
When he reached near the gate of village Nanka, he saw that a private bus
\n Crl.Misc.No.M-28851 of 2009                                        [2]<\/p>\n
was standing there. When he made an attempt to cross over the bus, one<\/p>\n
Tata Sumo came on a very high speed. Due to the glare of head lights of<\/p>\n
Tata Sumo, he could not see and his Scorpio hit the bus which was parked<\/p>\n
there. The front of the Scorpio was badly damaged. However, no body,<\/p>\n
suffered any injury. A note was given by MHC Sukhwinder Pal that since<\/p>\n
only vehicle has been damaged, no cognizable offence is made out. Daily<\/p>\n
Diary Report was recorded on 4.7.2005 at 7.30 P.M.. On 17.7.2005,<\/p>\n
Inspector Didar Singh, S.H.O.,Lambra submitted a kalandra, Annexure P-1<\/p>\n
in the Court of Judicial Magistrate Ist Class, Jalandhar. He stated that in<\/p>\n
fact Scorpio vehicle had suffered an accident on 3.7.2005 at 3.00 P.M. in<\/p>\n
between Shahbad and Kurukshetra in the State of Haryana with Haryana<\/p>\n
Roadways bus and from there the accidental Scorpio was brought by Tirath<\/p>\n
Ram son of Ram Lubhaya to Jalandhar by tying the same with his Sumo.<\/p>\n
False report was made in order to gain insurance claim.<\/p>\n
            On presentation of the Kalandra, Judicial Magistrate Ist Class,<\/p>\n
Jalandhar on 29..7.2005 passed the following order:-<\/p>\n
                   “Kalandra presented today. It be registered. Let notice<\/p>\n
            to accused be issued for 12.08.2005.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
            Two-fold submissions have been raised by the petitioner in the<\/p>\n
present petition. Firstly, in the present case, no FIR was lodged, therefore,<\/p>\n
in view of the ratio of law laid down in Malkiat Singh v. State of<\/p>\n
Haryana,<\/a> 1999(2) RCR (Criminal) 10, no offence under Section 182 IPC is<\/p>\n
made out. First submission raised merit attention and is required to be dealt<\/p>\n
with by this Court. It has been stated that until and unless, FIR is recorded,<\/p>\n
it cannot be said that a false report was submitted to police official. By<\/p>\n
mere lodging of DDR, police had not proceeded to do or omit anything
\n Crl.Misc.No.M-28851 of 2009                                       [3]<\/p>\n
which such public servant ought not to do or omit if the true state of facts<\/p>\n
respecting such information are given or lawful power of such public<\/p>\n
servant has been used to the injury or annoyance of any such person.<\/p>\n
Section182 IPC read as under:-\n<\/p>\n
                   “182. False information, with intent to cause public<\/p>\n
            servant to use his lawful power to the injury of another<\/p>\n
            person.- Whoever gives to any public servant any information<\/p>\n
            which he knows or believes to be false, intending thereby to<\/p>\n
            cause, or knowing it to be likely that he will thereby cause,<\/p>\n
            such public servant-\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
                   (a) to do or omit anything which such public servant<\/p>\n
            ought not to do or omit if the true state of facts respecting<\/p>\n
            which such information is given were known by him, or<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
                   (b) to use the lawful power of such public servant to the<\/p>\n
            injury or annoyance of any person,<\/p>\n
            shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a<\/p>\n
            term which may extent to six months, or with fine which may<\/p>\n
            extend to one thousand rupees, or with both.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
A perusal and dissection of the section reveal two essential ingredients that<\/p>\n
by such information furnished, public servant ought to have done or omitted<\/p>\n
to have done something relying upon such information or had used his<\/p>\n
lawful power to the injury or annoyance of any such person. In the present<\/p>\n
case, none of these two essential ingredients were followed.            MHC<\/p>\n
Sukhwinder Pal had given a note that there is no negligence on the part of<\/p>\n
any person. The accident occurred suddenly and naturally and no offence<\/p>\n
against any body is made out. Therefore, the information given was neither
\n Crl.Misc.No.M-28851 of 2009                                            [4]<\/p>\n
acted upon nor something which ought to have been done by the police<\/p>\n
official was not done. Therefore, there was no omission on the part of<\/p>\n
police official.     Non registration of the case has not caused injury or<\/p>\n
annoyance to any person but at the same time giving of a false information<\/p>\n
to the police cannot be ignored. Therefore, Code of Criminal Procedure has<\/p>\n
taken care of this eventuality also. There are other penal provisions which<\/p>\n
take care of act of commission or omission on the part of the accused.<\/p>\n
Lodging of false information for obtaining insurance claim will constitute<\/p>\n
which offence require application of mind. The offence may not fall under<\/p>\n
Section 182 IPC.\n<\/p>\n
              The judgment relied upon by counsel for the petitioner in Malkiat<\/p>\n
Singh’s case (supra) cannot be applied in each and every case as a matter of rule.<\/p>\n
It is not necessary that any information recorded in Daily Diary Report must be<\/p>\n
converted into FIR for proceeding against the person who has given information<\/p>\n
for offence under Section 182 IPC. Wherein in a Daily Diary Report, a note is<\/p>\n
appended that the matter is to be investigated or report of Chemical Examiner or<\/p>\n
Forensic Expert is awaited and thereafter action shall be initiated, in that case<\/p>\n
police officer had formulated an opinion to proceed with the case, therefore,<\/p>\n
ingredients of Section 182 IPC is complete. There can be many instances, same<\/p>\n
cannot be specified and put in water tight jackets. Therefore, in each and every<\/p>\n
case before summoning, Magistrate had to apply mind whether offence under<\/p>\n
Section 182 IPC is made out or not. Magistrate may not give reasons for the same.<\/p>\n
An observation by the Magistrate “Record perused. Prima facie offence is made<\/p>\n
out” will suffice.\n<\/p>\n
              Secondly, it has been stated by the petitioner in the petition<\/p>\n
that order dated 29.7.2005 passed by the Judicial Magistrate Ist Class,<\/p>\n
Jalandhar reproduced earlier, lack application of mind and the same has
\n Crl.Misc.No.M-28851 of 2009                                      [5]<\/p>\n
been passed in a mechanical manner. I find merit in this contention also. A<\/p>\n
Division Bench of this Court in Krishan Murari and ors. v. Mohinder<\/p>\n
Pal,<\/a> 1983(1)     RCR (Criminal) 21 held that it is not necessary that<\/p>\n
summoning order should be speaking order.        However, it must reflect<\/p>\n
application of mind. A perusal of summoning order reveal that not only the<\/p>\n
same is cryptic but it cannot be comprehended that the Magistrate was alive<\/p>\n
to the issues involved.   Merely two lines have been noticed “Kalandra<\/p>\n
presented.    It be registered and notice be issued.”   On this score also<\/p>\n
summoning order, Annexure P-2 is liable to be set aside. Accordingly, the<\/p>\n
present petition is accepted. Summoning order, Annexure P-2 is set aside.<\/p>\n
The matter is remanded back to the Court of Judicial Magistrate Ist Class,<\/p>\n
Jalandhar who shall apply mind to the submissions made and dealt with by<\/p>\n
this Court.<\/p>\n
