JUDGEMENT
-
(1.) BEFORE entering into the merits
of both these Misc. Petitions filed against
the order of taking cognizance by the respective
magistrates, it will be appropriate to first
discuss the anomaly as to whether extraordinary
or inherent powers of this Court
by way of judicial review provided for under
section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code,
1973 in short 'the Code', and also the power
of superintendence over the Courts of judicial
magistrates for expeditious and proper
disposal of cases under Section 483 of the
code, can be exercised by this Court against
those orders, which have attained finality
or are not interlocutory orders and the remedy
for redressal of grievance to the aggrieved
party is available by way of a revision
petition under Section 397 of the Code.
(2.) SINCE both these Misc. Petitions filed
under Section 482 of the Code relates to
challenge to the order of taking cognizance
and issuing process, therefore, they are being
disposed of by this common order.
(3.) IN Criminal Misc. Petition No. 289/2006
filed by Sanjay Bhandari, learned Judicial
magistrate, Bhinder, Udaipur, took
cognizance against him for the offences
u/ss. 420 read with 120-B, IPC on 9-1-2006
on the basis of charge-sheet filed by the
sho, P. S. Bhinder, Distt. Udaipur on the
ground that the accused petitioner Sanjay
bhandari obtained a hotel Rajmahal at
bhinder from the complainant side on 9-11-2000
by way of an agreement for a period of
five years on rent. In the name of this hotel
business, the accused petitioner purchased
number of valuable cars from foreign companies
but never used those cars for the
hotel and sold the same to other persons,
thereby he obtained tax relief on one hand
in the name of tourism business, without
being performed and on the other hand,
committed theft of custom duty. The rent of
the hotel was also not paid after some time
and committed cheating. The police after due
investigation, submitted charge-sheet
against the accused petitioner and on the
basis of which the learned Magistrate has
taken cognizance against the petitioner. Hence this Misc. Petition.;
