by the Apex Court in state of Haryana
and

Lal
and

Case law discussed:
1992 SCC (Criminal)-426
1 All] Sitari Begam V. State of U.P.
231
(Delivered by Hon'ble Vinod Prasad, J.)

1. Heard learned counsel for the
revisionist and the learned A.G.A.

2. The application being Misc.
Application No. 54 of 2006 filed by the
revisionist Sitari Begam, under Section
156(3) Cr.P.C. disclosed commission of a
cognizable offence of grievous nature
under section 325 I.P.C. as well as under
section 308 I.P.C. Since there was a
fracture of the head bone found on the
head of Kumar Gulista. Moreover, the
accused persons have entered into the
house of the revisionist and there they
have assaulted her, which is also a
cognizable offence. Judicial Magistrate-I,
Saharanpur committed manifest error of
law in not directing the police to follow
the mandate of law to exercise their
plenary power of investigation as was
prayed by the revisionist through the said
application under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C.
It is not the law that if an application
under Section 156(3) is filed disclosing
commission of cognizable offences the
Magistrate should leave the police to act
arbitrarily by not directing to register the
F.I.R. The Magistrate concerned was
expected to follow the mandate of law
and direct the police to register the F.I.R.
In this case the Magistrate by not
directing the police to register the F.I.R.
of the cognizable offence committed
manifest error of law and did not exercise
his jurisdiction properly in law. The
victim never wanted to file a complaint
and there may be thousands of reasons for
the same including the fact that the
accused are musclemen and the victim
was not in position to bring the witness to
the court of law to support her version.
The Judicial Magistrate-Ist Saharnpur
without looking into the law laid down by
the Apex Court in state of Haryana and
others versus Bhajan Lal and others;
1992 SCC (Criminal) 426 and in other
similar judgments of the Apex Court has
passed the impugned order on 16/10/2006
in the said Misc. Application No. 54 of
2006, under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C. filed
by the revisionist Sitari Begam, which
cannot be sustained and is hereby set
aside. The matter is recommended back
to him decide the application afresh in
accordance with law.

3.
With the aforesaid direction revision
is allowed at the admission stage.
