O R D E R
Petitioner is the counter petitioner in
M.C.No.482/2021 on the file of the Sub Divisional Magistrate,
Kollam. He received Annexure -I notice under Section 111(1)
Cr.P.C. asking to show cause as to why he shall not be made to
execute a bond for a period of one year. Going by Annexure-I, it is
clear that the Sub Divisional Magistrate had received a report from
East Police Station, Kollam stating that the petitioner is a trouble
maker, he is causing nuisance to the public, also causes violence
and breach of peace and tranquility and indulges himself in
repeated acts of violence causing threat to the peaceful life of the
people in the locality. First Information Report was registered
against the petitioner as Crime No.84/2021 for the offences
punishable under Sections 294(b),323,324,326 read with 34 IPC.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that it is a single
instance and proceedings initiated against the petitioner are illegal Crl.M.C.No.6424 of 2021
and therefore, the proceedings may be quashed. He has also
placed reliance on an order passed in similar circumstances in
Crl.M.C.No.4086 of 2018.
2. I have heard the learned Senior Public Prosecutor also.
According to the learned Senior Public Prosecutor, on conclusion
of investigation in Crime No.84/2021, charge sheet has been laid
which is pending as C.C.No.86/2021 before the Chief Judicial
Magistrate. According to the learned Public Prosecutor, the
petitioner has not involved in any other case.
3. It is also evident that the Sub Divisional Magistrate
has no case regarding any other complaint alleging commission of
any other offence or other matter against the petitioner, before the
police authorities. In the circumstances, I have no doubt that
Annexure-I is clear abuse of process of law and therefore,
proceedings in M.C.No.482/2021 before the second respondent are
quashed.
Crl.M.C.No.6424 of 2021
The Crl.M.C. is allowed as above.
