Padode reported in 2005(3) Mh.L.J.778, I am of the opinion that the petitioners have an efficacious remedy of preferring revision against the order of Magistrate issuing process. Hence, in my view, it would be appropriate that the petitioners prefer revisions before the concerned Sessions Court against the order of the Magistrate issuing process. 4. Liberty is granted to the petitioners to prefer the necessary revisions before the concerned Sessions Court. The learned advocate for the petitioners makes a statement that the necessary revisions will be preferred within four weeks from today. I am informed that the matters before the trial Court are kept on 27th October, 2005. In view of this statement, the trial Court shall not -3- proceed with the cases on 27.10.2005 and for a period of ten days thereafter. 5. On the necessary revisions being preferred by the petitioners before the concerned Sessions Court, the concerned Sessions Court shall dispose of the matters on merits after hearing the necessary parties. 6.
