2. The above impugned order has been passed by the learned
Magistrate on a protest petition, which was directed to be dealt as a private
complaint, by an order of the High Court. After having got the sworn
statement of the witness and satisfied that there are prima facie materials
available on record, the learned Magistrate has passed the following order:

3. In fact, this is an unfortunate petition which has seen several rounds
of litigation for getting repeated directions for dealing the protest petition in
accordance with law. The matter originated on a complaint given by the
petitioner/defacto complainant. On 04.08.2004, against the respondents on
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Crl.R.C.No.1373 of 2017
the allegation that they have committed certain offence. On the basis of the
said complaint First Information Report has been registered in Crime No.642
of 2004 for the offence under Sections 420, 423 and 417 of IPC against the
respondents/accused. As there was no further progress in the investigation,
the petitioner/defacto complainant filed Crl.O.P.No.17370 of 2005 for
seeking direction. Only during the said proceedings, it was informed by the
Prosecuting Agency that the investigation had already been completed and the
case has been referred as ''Mistake of Fact''. Though the case was initially
registered at Palladam Police Station, subsequently it got transferred to
District Crime Branch for investigation and at the conclusion of investigation,
final report has been filed as 'Mistake of Fact'. On getting such informations,
this Court has passed an order dated 04.07.2005 in Crl.O.P.No.17370 of
2005 by dismissing the petition. However, an opportunity was given to the
petitioner to file a protest petition on receipt of the referral notice, from
Police. It is alleged by the petitioner that they were never served with referral
notice. However, on getting the knowledge about the result of the
investigation, they had filed the Protest Petition. But, it was prayed to the
learned Magistrate, Palladam to reject the final report and to order re-
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Crl.R.C.No.1373 of 2017
investigation. The said petition was dismissed by the learned Magistrate by
stating that the Magistrate has no power to direct the Prosecuting Agency to
do reinvestigation.
4. Challenging the same, the defacto complainant filed a criminal case
in Crl.R.C.No.777 of 2006. In the said revision petition, order has been
passed on 28.11.2006 by dismissing the said revision case. However, the
learned Magistrate was given liberty to conduct an enquiry in the protest
petition by receiving oral and documentary evidence and proceeding in
accordance with law. On receipt of the said order, the defacto complainant
once again filed a protest petition before the learned Magistrate in the form of
a private complaint on 18.01.2007. The said petition was returned by the
learned Magistrate. Since the learned Magistrate has not followed the
direction given by the High Court in the order dated 28.11.2006 passed in
Crl.R.C.No.777 of 2006, the Defacto complainant once again filed
Crl.O.P.No.5094 of 2007 for seeking directions. The said Crl.O.P.No.5094 of
2007 was disposed of on 23.02.2007 and the learned Judicial Magistrate was
directed to comply the earlier order and to conduct an enquiry on the protest
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Crl.R.C.No.1373 of 2017
petition by receiving oral and documentary evidence.
5. Even thereafter, the learned Magistrate did not proceed to conduct
the enquiry as directed by this Court. Instead, he forwarded the petition to the
Inspector of Police, Palladam on 26.03.2007, for taking action under Section
156(3) Cr.P.C., and to file a report. Once again the defacto complainant
knocked the door of this Court by filing Crl.R.C.No.709 of 2007 and
challenging Order of the Magistrate dated 26.03.2007 in C.F.R.No.2434 of
2007 and the same was disposed of by this Court on 21.04.2008. It is
pertinent to note that at that point of time, the accused also challenged the
order of the learned Magistrate dated 26.03.2007 by way of filing Original
Petitions in Crl.O.P.No.12300 of 2007 and Crl.O.P.No.9134 of 2008. In view
of that, a common order has been passed in Crl.R.C.No.709 of 2007 and
Crl.O.P.No.12300 of 2007 and Crl.O.P.No.9134 of 2008 on 21.04.2008. In
the said order, the order of the learned Magistrate dated 26.03.2007 was set
aside once again and direction was given to the learned Magistrate to conduct
enquiry on the Protest Petition after giving due opportunity to the defacto-
complainant to produce both oral and documentary evidence. The above
order made it clear that the said direction would not in any way disturb the
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Crl.R.C.No.1373 of 2017
earlier order of the learned Magistrate which rejected the prayer for
reinvestigation.
6. Thereafter, the learned Magistrate had started to conduct the enquiry
on the protest petition which was filed in the form of a complaint under
Section 200 Cr.P.C. The sworn statement of PW1 and two other witnesses
were recorded and 14 documents have been received from the defacto
complainant. After appreciating the materials on record, the learned
Magistrate dismissed the petition, but on a strange finding that the petitioner
had no right to seek CBCID or any other independent Agency to reinvestigate
the case. The said finding has been given without notice of the earlier order
passed by the same Court on that aspect and which was also confirmed by the
order of the High Court dated 28.11.2006 in Crl.R.C.No.777 of 2006. In fact,
the impact of the order was once again reiterated by the High Court, in its
common order dated 21.04.2008 passed in Crl.R.C.No.709 of 2007,
Crl.O.P.No.12300 of 2007 and Crl.O.P.No.9134 of 2008. Had the learned
Magistrate perused the records completely and known about the earlier
proceedings connected to this case, he would have averted a repeated order
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Crl.R.C.No.1373 of 2017
about re-investigation. Curiously, the learned Magistrate also recorded a
finding that the protest petition itself is not maintainable. Aggrieved over that,
the defacto complainant filed Crl.R.C.No.375 of 2011for setting aside the
order of the learned Magistrate dated 31.03.2009. This Court has disposed
the Crl.R.C.No.375 of 2011 on 09.01.2017 by passing the following order:
''5. In the result, the order passed by the Court below
is liable to be set aside and accordingly it is set aside and
the matter is remanded to the learned Judicial Magistrate
and the learned Judicial Magistrate, Palladam is directed to
consider the protest petition on merits and in accordance
with law and pass a suitable order within a period of six
weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.''
7. In pursuant to the above order, the learned Magistrate, Palladam had
passed an impugned order on 05.07.2017. In the impugned order, the learned
Judicial Magistrate has recorded that there are no prima facie grounds to
issue process to the accused under Section 204 Cr.P.C. However, he
proceeded to record that the protest petition is liable to be treated as a private
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Crl.R.C.No.1373 of 2017
complaint and that can be taken on file in C.C.No.130 of 2017 under Section
120 B, 417, r/w.109, 420, 423, 467, 468, 34, 294B, 448 and 506(ii) of IPC. It
is to be seen that the earlier order of the learned Magistrate dated 31.03.2009
was passed after completing the enquiry contemplated under Section 204
Cr.P.C. If the learned Magistrate found sufficient grounds for proceeding
further, he has to either issue process for enforcing the admission of the
accused, by way of ordering 'summon' or 'warrant' as the case may be. If the
materials produced before the learned Magistrate are found to be not
sufficient to make out a prima facie case, he could have reject the complaint.
8. But, in the impugned order, the learned Magistrate has taken
cognizance of the case and assigned a C.C. Number also. If the learned
Magistrate opts to take the case on file, the consequent order would be to
issue summons or warrant to the accused for ensuring his appearance and to
conduct trial in accordance with law.
9. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the impugned
order of the learned Magistrate has been passed in violation of the procedure
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Crl.R.C.No.1373 of 2017
contemplated under law. Since the revision petitioner was once again slapped
with a confusing order, he has prepared the revision case. He relied on the
decisions of the Hon'ble Supreme Court rendered in H.S.Bains Director
Small Saving-Cum-Deputy Secretary, Finan Vs. State (Union Territory of
Chandigarh) reported in 1980 AIR (SC) 1883, in support of his contentions
that the protest petition has to be treated like that of the petition under Section
200 Cr.P.C., and an enquiry has to be conducted under Section 202, if the
learned Magistrate thinks fit and thereafter, the only course open to the
learned Magistrate is to either dismiss the complaint or issue process. In the
said judgment, it is held as under:
''The Magistrate after receiving the Police report, may, without issuing process or dropping the proceeding decide to take cognizance of the offence on the basis of the complaint originally submitted to him and proceed to record the statements upon oath of the complainant and the witnesses present under Sec.200 Criminal Procedure Code and thereafter decide whether to dismiss the complaint or issue process. The mere fact that he had earlier ordered an investigation under Sec.156(3) and received a report under Sec.173 will not have the effect of total effacement of the complaint and therefore the Magistrate will not be barred
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Crl.R.C.No.1373 of 2017
from proceeding under Section 200, 203 and 204. Thus, a magistrate who on receipt of a complaint, orders an investigation under Sec.156(3) and receives a police report under Sec.173(1), may, thereafter, do one of three things: (1) he may decide that there is no sufficient ground for proceeding further and drop action; (2) he may take cognizance of the offence under Sec.190(1)(b) on the basis of the police report and issue process; this he may do without being bound in any manner by the conclusion arrived at by the police in their report; (3) he may take cognizance of the offence under Sec.190(1)(a) on the basis of the original complaint and proceed to examine upon oath the complainant and his witnesses under Sec.202 if he thinks fit.
Thereafter he may dismiss the complaint or issue process, as the case may be.''
10. The Hon'ble Supreme Court made it clear that even without
receiving the protest petition, the learned Magistrate on his own can issue
process, if the Police report is not agreeable and in his appreciation, the case
has to be dealt further. But, here is a case where the complainant himself has
filed a protest petition. In another judgment of the Full Bench of the Hon'ble
Supreme Court, passed in Bhagwant Singh Vs. Commissioner of Police &
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Crl.R.C.No.1373 of 2017
Another reported in 1985 (2) SCC 537, it is again made clear that every
protest petition should be treated as a private complaint and a proceedings
under Section 200 Cr.P.C., For the purpose of better appreciation, it is
relevant to extract paragraph No.4 of the above judgment as under:
''4. Now, when the report forwarded by the officer-in charge of a police station to the Magistrate under sub-
section (2)(i) of Section 173 comes up for consideration by the Magistrate, one of two different situations may arise. The report may conclude that an offence appears to have been committed by a particular person or persons and in such a case, the Magistrate may do one of three things: (1) he may accept the report and take cognizance of the offence and issue process or (2) he may disagree with the report and drop the proceeding or (3) he may direct further investigation under sub-section (3) of Section 156 and require the police to make a further report. The report may on the other hand state that, in the opinion of the police, no offence appears to have been committed and where such a report has been made, the Magistrate again has an option to adopt one of three courses: (1) he may accept the report and drop the proceeding or (2) he may disagree with the report and taking the view that there is sufficient ground for proceeding further, take cognizance of the offence and issue
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Crl.R.C.No.1373 of 2017
process or (3) he may direct further investigation to be made by the police under sub-section (3) of Section 156. Where, in either of these two situations, the Magistrate decides to take cognizance of the offence and to issue process, the informant is not prejudicially affected nor is the injured or in case of death, any relative of the deceased aggrieved, because cognizance of the offence is taken by the Magistrate and it is decided by the Magistrate that the case shall proceed. But if the Magistrate decides that there is no sufficient ground for proceeding further and drops the proceeding or takes the view that though there is sufficient ground for proceeding against some, there is no sufficient ground for proceeding against others mentioned in the First Information Report, the informant would certainly be prejudiced because the First Information Report lodged by him would have failed of its purpose, wholly or in part. Moreover, when the interest of the informant in prompt and effective action being taken on the First Information Report lodged by him is clearly recognised by the provisions contained in sub-section (2) of Section 154, sub- section (2) of Section 157 and sub-section (2)(ii) of Section 173, it must be presumed that the informant would equally be interested in seeing that the Magistrate takes cognizance of the offence and issues process, because that would be culmination of the First Information Report
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Crl.R.C.No.1373 of 2017
lodged by him. There can, therefore, be no doubt that when, on a consideration of the report made by the officer in charge of a police station under sub-section (2)(i) of Section 173, the Magistrate is not inclined to take cognizance of the offence and issue process, the informant must be given an opportunity of being heard so that he can make his submissions to persuade the Magistrate to take cognizance of the offence and issue process. We are accordingly of the view that in a case where the magistrate to whom a report is forwarded under sub-section (2)(i) of Section 173 decides not to take cognizance of the offence and to drop the proceeding or takes the view that there is no sufficient ground for proceeding against some of the persons mentioned in the First Information Report, the magistrate must give notice to the informant and provide him an opportunity to be heard at the time of consideration of the report. It was urged before us on behalf of the respondents that if in such a case notice is required to be given to the informant, it might result in unnecessary delay on account of the difficulty of effecting service of the notice on the informant. But we do not think this can be regarded as a valid objection against the view we are taking, because in any case the action taken by the police on the First Information Report has to be communicated to the informant and a copy of the report has to be supplied to
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Crl.R.C.No.1373 of 2017
him under sub-section (2) (i) of Section 173 if that be so, we do not see any reason why it should be difficult to serve notice of the consideration of the report on the informant. Moreover, in any event, the difficulty of service of notice on the informant cannot possibly provide any justification for depriving the informant of the opportunity of being heard at the time when the report is considered by the Magistrate.''
11. In the above judgment, the Hon'ble Supreme Court had approved
the right of the complainant to receive referral notice. Having given a
complaint, the complainant has got a right to know about the result of his
complaint at the conclusion of the investigation. The right to file protest
petition follows as right to receive referral notice and once such petition is
filed, the learned Magistrate has to consider it like a private complaint filed
under Section 200 Cr.P.C.
12. At this juncture, the learned counsel for the respondents 2 to 4
submitted that it is always open to the learned Magistrate to postpone the
issuance of summons / warrant till the time, the complainant files the list of
witnesses under Section 204(2) Cr.P.C., and the legislation contemplates
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Crl.R.C.No.1373 of 2017
procedure to safeguard the interest of the accused as well. He invited the
attention of this Court to the judgment of the High Court of Orissa passed in
the case of Anil Kumar Singh Vs. Jagdish Pandey, dated 30.07.2014 in
Crl.M.C.Nos.3091, 3093 and 3095 of 2012, in support of his above
contentions. The learned counsel for the respondents 2 to 4 referred
paragraph No.14 of the above said judgment, in which, a reference was made
about the judgment of the Bombay High Court made in Pramila Mahesh
Shah v. Employees State Insurance and another (2002 CRI.L.J.2454).
''14. The Bombay High Court in Pramila Mahesh Shah v. Employees State Insurance and another 2002 CRI.L.J.2454, after taking note of the law laid down by the various Courts on the subject, has come to hold that the view expressed in Bhiku Yeshwant Dhangat (supra) is per incuriam. Hon'ble Court has proceeded to hold as under:
''xx xx xx
29. Coming to Section 204(2) of Cr.P.C., I must say that the non-compliance of this provision does not affect the jurisdiction of the Magistrate either to issue process or to try the case. This view has been taken by the Apex Court in Noorkhan v.State of Rajasthan, (1964 (1) Cri.L.J.167);
Madhaorao Pandurang v.Yeshwant (1969
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis
Crl.R.C.No.1373 of 2017
Mah.L.J.(NOC)21); Abdullah Bhat v. Ghulam
Mohd.Wani(1972 Cri.L.J.277)J an K) (FB); and Shashi Nair v.R.C.Mehta(1982(1) Bom CR 358(Supra). The procedural laws are hand made of justice and the question of prejudice is of paramount consideration in respect of breach of procedural provisions. Therefore, even if it was to be held that the provisions of Section 204(2) are mandatory, that, by itself, would not vitiate the issue of process or the jurisdiction of the Court and where the matter is at the initial stage, directions can be given to furnish the copy of list of witnesses, if any, before the proceedings actually commenced. The stage of the proceedings is relevant to determine the prejudice, if any, caused to the accused. In the case under consideration, the substantive proceedings had not yet started. Therefore, in the circumstances, directions to the complainant to supply copy of witnesses, if any, within a period of four weeks from the receipt of the copy of the order by the trial Court would be considered as sufficient compliance of Section 204(2) of Cr.P.C., 1973.''
13. The whole reading of the above observations made by the other
High Courts would only say that even if the jurisdictional Magistrate had
opted to issue process before filing of the list of witnesses by the prosecution
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Crl.R.C.No.1373 of 2017
that would not vitiate the proceedings. If the Magistrate slips to issue process
without receiving the list of witnesses, his proceedings cannot be set aside as
illegal. The accused has also got a right to get the copies of the statement of
the witnesses given during 202 proceedings. In the case in hand, the accused
has not filed any petition for seeking copies of sworn statement and prayed to
stop the proceedings. For the reasons are non-filing of list of witnesses as
contemplated under Section 204(2) Cr.P.C.
14. It is worthwhile to know that even when the defacto complainant
has filed his protest petition in the form of private complaint, he has given the
list of witnesses. The learned Magistrate has chosen to take the sworn
statement of three witnesses from the list and received 14 documents. It is
open for the learned Magistrate to restrict 202 enquiry to the point of
satisfaction about prima facie case. But, the learned Magistrate without
understanding the spirit of Sections 202 and 204 had raised a
self-contradiction order by taking cognizance of the case, but stopping the
process. If, the learned Magistrate is not satisfied with the evidence on
record, he ought not to have the case on file and kept 202 proceedings
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Crl.R.C.No.1373 of 2017
pending and called for the sworn statement of other witnesses as well. Once
the case is taken on file, and the list of witnesses have also been furnished by
the defacto complainant nothing could prevent the learned Magistrate to issue
summons or warrant as the case may be.
15. Once the summons or warrant is issued and the accused makes his
appearance and gets the copies of the papers, his right to participate in the
proceedings is assured. At this stage, it is not necessary for the learned
Magistrate to stop the process without assigning any acceptable reasons and
that too after taking the case on file.
16. On perusal of the impugned order of the learned Magistrate, it is
seen that the learned Magistrate has got himself satisfied to take the protest
petition on file by assigning C.C.No.130 of 2017 under Sections 120 B, 417
r/w. 109, 420, 423, 467, 468, 34, 294(b), 448 and 506(ii) of IPC. Having
taken the case on file, the learned Magistrate ought to have concluded the 202
proceedings and issue summon or warrant to the accused. Once again, the
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Crl.R.C.No.1373 of 2017
learned Magistrate seems to continue the 202 Cr.P.C., proceedings, for
examining further witnesses. If the learned Magistrate has not satisfied with
the materials already on record, his action of taking the case on file would be
contrary to his own intention.
17. Rightly or wrongly the case has been taken on file and C.C.number
has also been assigned. Now, the learned Magistrate has to follow the next
course of action in accordance with law by issuing the process. Since the
prosecution has also filed the list of witnesses, he need not stop the
proceedings under Section 204(ii) Cr.P.C. also. Hence, the order of the
learned Magistrate requires modification and to that extent, I feel that the
interference of this Court is warranted.
18. In the result, this Criminal Revision Case is partly allowed and the
impugned order of the learned Magistrate is modified to the extent of issuing
summons to the accused in C.C.No.130 of 2017. In compliance of the above
order, the learned Magistrate is directed to cause the summons to be issued to
the accused and dispose the case in C.C.No.130 of 2017 at the earliest.

Consequently, connected criminal miscellaneous petition is closed.
