THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1330 of 2000 JUDGMENT: This Criminal Revision Case is filed by accused No.1 stating that the registration of Crime No.106 of 2000 by Huzurnagar Police Station, Nalgonda District, against him for the offence punishable under Section 500 IPC is an abuse of process of law. Though the petitioner-accused No.1 filed the case under Section 482 Cr.P.C., it was numbered as Criminal Revision Case and came up before a learned single Judge of this Court in the year 2000, who while ordering notice before admission, by an order, dated 13.12.2000, granted interim stay of all further proceedings impugned herein and the said interim order was extended from time to time. In fact, the Criminal Revision itself is not maintainable for the said reason that when the petitioner filed the case under Section 482 Cr.P.C., it should have been treated as Criminal Petition. For a moment keeping apart the said fact, it is to be seen that pursuant to the interim stay granted by this Court, which was extended from time to time, all proceedings in the said Crime number were stayed i.e., virtually came to an halt. Further more, the offence alleged against the petitioner-accused is under Section 500 IPC., in which case, the Police have no jurisdiction and no much role to play. Hence, in my considered view, the Court below has to either take cognizance of the said offence alleged against the petitioner or dismiss the complaint, but, it cannot refer the matter to the Police for the purpose of investigation. In the light of the above discussion, this Court is of the view that this Criminal Revision Case can be treated as Criminal Petition and the proceedings impugned herein are hereby quashed. With the above directions, the Criminal Revision Case is disposed of. ___________________________________ JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA 17th February 2011 DR
