The applicant filed complaint under Section 500 of the Indian Penal Code against non applicant Nos. 2 to 12. The learned Magistrate, by his order dated 05.02.2007 issued process against non applicant Nos. 2 to 12 under Section 500 of the I.P.C. Non applicant Nos. 2 to 12 approached the Additional Sessions Judge, Akola by filing revision application bearing No. 36/2007. The learned Additional Sessions Judge, after hearing both the sides was pleased to 2 set aside the order of Magistrate issuing process against the present non applicant Nos. 2 to 12 under Section 500 of the I.P.C. and consequently the complaint came to be dismissed. The learned Additional Sessions Judge considered in proper perspective the alleged defamatory statement and held that the applicant cannot be said to have been defamed by this statement. I have also gone through the alleged defamatory statement and I am of the view that the learned Additional Sessions Judge has rightly set aside the order issuing process. In that view of the matter, I am not inclined to exercise my jurisdiction under Section 397 of the Cr. P. C. The revision is, therefore, dismissed. JUDGE kahale
