4. It is submitted that learned Magistrate on the basis
of the order passed by the Division Bench of this Court in
Criminal Application (APL) No.653/2016 dated 18.01.2018
has disposed of criminal case. It is submitted that the order in
Criminal Application (A.P.L.) No.653/2016 passed by the
Division Bench of this Court dated 18.01.2018 pertain to
crime No.1540/2016 registered on the report lodged by
Darshana wife of respondent No.4. It is pointed out that crime
registered on the report of the petitioner is bearing
No.184/2015 dated 02.04.2015. It is submitted that
respondent Nos. 2 to 8 did not apply before the High Court for
quashing of the First Information Report No.184/2015 dated
02.04.2015. It is pointed out that the case filed on the basis of
First Information Report No.1540/2016 was numbered as
Regular Criminal Case No.4123/2016. It is pointed out that
the case registered on the First Information Report
No.184/2015 dated 02.04.2015 was Criminal Case No. cr wp 515.23.odt.jud.odt
2507/2015. It is submitted that two crimes are separate and
distinct. It is submitted that learned Magistrate without
application of mind, on the basis of the order of Division Bench
pertaining to crime No.1540/2016 disposed of Regular
Criminal Case No.2507/2015 registered on the report of the
petitioner.
5. Learned APP for the State submits that learned
Judge appears to have committed mistake in understanding the
factual position. Learned APP pointed out that crime
No.184/2015 dated 02.04.2015 and Regular Criminal Case
No.2507/2015 was not quashed by the Division Bench of this
Court.
6. I have gone through the record and proceedings. It
is apparent that Regular Criminal Case No.4123/2016 was
registered on separate and distinct First Information Report
lodged by the wife of respondent No.4. The First Information cr wp 515.23.odt.jud.odt
Report/criminal case was quashed as per order of the Division
Bench of this Court dated 18.01.2018 in Criminal Application
No.653/2016.
7. In view of this factual position, it is evident that the
learned Magistrate has committed patent illegality. Learned
Magistrate, on the basis of the order passed pertaining to the
Regular Criminal Case No.4123/2016, disposed of Regular
Criminal Case No.2507/2015.
8. In view of this, the order deserves to be set aside.
9. Accordingly, I proceed to pass the following order:-
(i) The petition is allowed.
(ii) The order dated 10.05.2019 below Exh.1
passed learned Judicial Magistrate First Class, Court No.7
Nagpur is quashed and set aside. Regular Criminal Case
No.2507/2015 is restored to file.
cr wp 515.23.odt.jud.odt
(iii) It is made clear that the learned Magistrate shall
verify the correct factual position and proceed further with the
criminal case.
(iv) If criminal case bearing RCC No.2507/2015 is not
disposed of, then learned Magistrate shall proceed further with
the case and dispose of the same in accordance with law.
