JUSTICE SABINA Present: Mr. Dinesh Arora, Advocate, for the petitioner. SABINA, J. Petitioner has filed this petition under Section 482 of Code of Criminal Procedure (in short 'Cr.P.C.') for seeking direction that order dated 5.6.2010 passed by learned Judicial Magistrate, 1st Class, Panipat, be set aside and direction be issued for registration of FIR against the respondents and to investigate the case. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner, I am of the opinion that the instant petition deserves dismissal. An application was moved by the petitioner under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C. seeking a direction that the Station House Officer, Police Station Sadar, District Panipat may be directed to register a case and investigate the case in accordance with law and take appropriate legal action against the accused persons. The learned Magistrate has passed the following order on the said application :- Crl. Misc. No. M-23095 of 2010 (O&M) 2 “Complaint presented before me being Illaqa Magistrate, Ld. Counsel for the complainant requested that the allegations against the accused are of serious nature and complaint be sent to police under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C. for registration of case and investigation against the accused persons. I have heard Ld. Counsel for the complainant at length and have perused the material available. Being not satisfied the request is declined. Let the file be put up on 09.09.2010 for preliminary evidence of the complainant.” The Magistrate has exercised the jurisdiction vested in him and in these circumstances, the impugned order calls for no interference as it does not suffer from vice of illegality. Dismissed. (SABINA) August 13, 2010 JUDGE Anand
