It has been submitted by the learned Counsel for the applicant that the order of the revisional Court is without any reason and the dismissal order has been passed holding that there is no irregularity or jurisdictional error. Learned Counsel has relied upon 2002 SCC (Cri) 340, Paul George v. State, wherein the apex Corut has taken adverse note of such type of cryptic and telegraphic order. The Apex Court held: "mere ritual of repeating the words or language used in the provisions, saying that no illegality, impropriety or jurisdictional error is found in the judgment under challenge without even a whisper of the merit of the matte of nature of pleas raised does not meet the requirement of decision of a case judicially. "
(3.) IN the order dated 18-2-2003, the revisional Corut has simply repeated the words used in the provision and passed the impugned order without applying his mind or considering the revision on merit. It resulted in unnecessary harassing of the applicant to redress his grievance. Consequently, the application is allowed the impugned order dated 18-2-2003 passed by the revisional Court and the order dated 28-1-2003 passed by Metropolitan Magistrate VII, Kanpur Nagar is quashed.
