JUDGEMENT
P.C.JAIN, J. -
(1.) THIS revision petition under Section 397 read
with Section 401, Cr.P.C. is directed against the order dated 13.12.1995
passed by the learned Sub -Divisional Magistrate, Sojat whereby the
application filed by respondent No. 1 -Smt. Kalawati for being impleaded
as p.y to the proceedings under Section 133, Cr.P.C. was allowed.
(2.) THE brief facts leading to this revision are that respondent Nos. 3 and 4 submitted an application under Section 133 Cr.P.C. before
the learned Sub -Divisional Magistrate. Sojat and on that application an
order under Section 133(1), Cr.P.C. was passed. In chose proceedings on
17.2.1994 an application was moved by respondent No. 1 Kalawati for being impleaded her as party respondent and the learned Sub Divisional
Magistrate vide his order dated 13.12.1995 allowed that application.
Aggrieved by the aforesaid order dated 13.12.1995 passed by the learned
Sub -Divisional Magistrate the petitioner has preferred this revision
petition before this Court.
I have heard M/s. Vinayak M. Joshi and Kailash Trivedi and Mr. R.S. Rathore, the learned Public Prosecutor appearing for the State and
have very carefully gone through the record of the case.
(3.) THE learned counsel appearing for the petitioner contended that there is no provision for impleading party to such proceedings under
Section 133, Cr.P.C. In the matters relating to public nuisance, every
citizen being interested, may participate in such proceedings. In the
instant case also, respondent No. 1 moved an application that she
apprehended that respondent Nos. 2 and 3 may not look -after the matter
properly and so she may be allowed to be impleaded as party -respondent to
these proceedings. However, the learned counsel for the petitioner has
submitted that proceedings under Section 133, Cr.P.C. are almost complete
and by allowing respondent No. 1 to implead as party -respondent, it would
result in unavoidable delay in its disposal and hence the order dated
13.12.1995 allowing the respondent No. 1 to be impleaded as party -respondent to these proceedings cannot be sustained.;
