In case Crime No. 197-A of 1997, the police submitted final reports which was accepted by the learned Magistrate. The revisionist made an application to recall the order by which final report was accepted but the same was rejected by the Chief Judicial Magistrate. Thereafter, revisionist filed a complaint case in the Court of Chief Judicial Magistrate, which was registered as Complaint Case No. 1196 of 2003, Malkhan Singh v. Rakesh Singh, which is pending. It was therefore prayed by the revisionist through his application 75-Kha that the complaint case be summoned as it is a cross case of S. T. No. 202 of 1997 and the two cases be tried together. Another application 76-Kha was preferred by the revisionist for treating application Kha under Sections 407 and 408, Cr. P. C.
(3.) OBJECTIONS were filed to this application of the revisionist on the ground that in the cross case final report filed by the police has been accepted and in complaint case the complainant has not yet been examined and the application has been made to delay the disposal of S. T. No. 202 of 1997. The Court has no jurisdiction to take cognizance of the complaint case unless the accused are committed to the Court of Sessions.
The learned Magistrate by a detailed order giving cogent reasons rejected the application 73-Kha and 74-Kha of the revisionist.;
