For the Petitioners : Mr. Ajit Kumar, Advocate For the State : Mrs. Priya Shrestha, Spl. P.P. 4/Dated: 20/12/2021
Heard Mr. Ajit Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mrs. Priya
Shrestha, learned counsel for the State.
2. The present petition has been filed for quashing of orders dated
30.08.2017, 13.10.2017 and 14.12.2017 passed by the learned Chief Judicial
Magistrate, Dumka in connection with Complaint (P.C.R.) Case No. 318 of 2013
whereby process under sections 82, 83 Cr.P.C. and permanent warrant of arrest
respectively have been issued against the petitioners.
3. Mr. Ajit Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the case
is arising out of 138 N.I. Act. He further submits that order dated 30.08.2017 by
which process under section 82 Cr.P.C. has been issued, is not under parameter of
section 82 of the Cr.P.C and not in compliance of judgment passed by this Court in
the case of "Md. Rustum Alam @ Rustam & Ors. Vs. The State of Jharkhand ,
reported in 2020 (2) JLJR 712. He further submits that the subsequent orders are
also not in accordance with law.
4. Learned counsel for the State submits that there is no illegality in the
impugned orders.
5. The Court has perused the order dated 30.08.2017 by which process
under section 82 Cr.P.C. has been issued. It transpires that there is no satisfaction
recorded by the trial court. There is no indication of date, time and place in Form-IV
Cr.P.C. The order dated 30.08.2017 is a cryptic one. Further, it appears that there is no
compliance of provision held in the judgment of "Md. Rustum Alam @ Rustam
(supra). As order dated 30.08.2017 is not in accordance with law, subsequent
orders are not surviving.
6. In view of the above facts, impugned orders dated 30.08.2017,
13.10.2017 and 14.12.2017 passed by the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Dumka
in connection with Complaint (P.C.R.) Case No. 318 of 2013 whereby process under
sections 82, 83 Cr.P.C. and permanent warrant of arrest respectively have been issued
against the petitioners, are hereby quashed.
7. The petitioners are directed to appear before the concerned court on
12.01.2022.
8. With the aforesaid observation and direction, this criminal miscellaneous
petition is allowed and disposed of. I.A., if any, stands disposed of.
