(2.) Submission of learned counsel for the applicant is that he never committed any negligence or mistake during investigation. Concerned Magistrate while rejecting the final report illegally passed the adverse remarks against the applicant directing the superior authority to register criminal case against the applicant for the offence under Section 166-A IPC. It was further argued that the applicant is presently posted as Additional Superintendent of Police at Police Head Quarter at Lucknow. The revisional court also did not consider the true aspect of the matter and illegally rejected the application. It was further argued that the discretion to be exercised by any authority cannot be redireced to exercise the same by any other authority. It was next argued that notice had been issued to the informant to appear for recording evidence under Section 164 Cr.P.C. but he did not appear, therefore, evidence under Section 164 Cr.P.C. could not be recorded. Thus there was no negligence on the part of the applicant. Adverse remarks and the direction given against the applicant is illegal and is liable to be quashed.
