DATED: NOVEMBER 25, 2011 P.C: Heard the learned counsel for the applicant. The applicant seeks leave to file appeal against the order of the Learned Metropolitan Magistrate, 41st Court, Shindewadi, Dadar, Mumbai, acquitting the respondent-Vilas Malu Lokhande of the offence punishable under Section 475(A)(1)(b) for contravening the provisions of Section 351 of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act. The learned counsel for the applicant points out that the learned Magistrate had acquitted the respondent holding that the complaint was presented 52 days after the expiry of the 2 APPLN-895.11 limitation prescribed under the Act. The learned counsel also pointed out that the learned Magistrate had unwarrantedly gone into the merits of the order at Exhibit-15 before him and had concluded that the order was passed in a mechanical manner which was beyond the scope of inquiry before the learned Magistrate. This would require examination. Hence leave granted. Appeal admitted. Call for the R & P.. Action under Section 390 of Cr.P.C. to follow. The application accordingly stands disposed of. (R.C. CHAVAN, J.)
