THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N. RAVI SHANKAR CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1367 OF 2011 ORDER: 1 Petitioner herein is said to be the first accused in C.C.No.114 of 2008 on the file of the court of Judicial Magistrate of I Class, Palamaner. He filed this revision case questioning the order dated 22.03.2011 passed in Crl.M.P.No.622 of 2010 by which he says that the learned Magistrate has refused to furnish copies of certain documents listed out in his petition without recording any reasons. 2 It may be noted that a copy of the petition in Crl.M.P.No.622 of 2010 has been filed before this court and it shows that the petitioner has given description of 132 documents, which he says that he needs them for preparing his answers to the charges and the defence. The learned Magistrate passed following order in the said petition and it reads as follows: “Heard, perused the record. Already all the copies are furnished to the petitioner, except the Ledger books which are not possible to furnish and only a few entries are the evidence, it can be verified by the petitioner himself or by his counsel at any point of time i.e., now or at the time of trial. In view of the above the petition is dismissed.” 3 The above order of the learned Magistrate reads that copies of all the documents relied upon by the prosecution and mentioned by the petitioner have been furnished except some ledger books, which it is not possible to furnish. The manner in which the learned Magistrate has disposed of the petition by passing the above order leaves much to be desired. 4 The petitioner has set out the list of documents, which he needs along with their description. The learned Magistrate did not refer to any of the said documents and whether they have been supplied to the petitioner or not is not known. The learned Additional Public Prosecutor has also stated across the bar that the learned Magistrate should have mentioned about the documents and then delivered a speaking order. In these circumstances, the impugned order is set aside and Criminal M.P.No.622 of 2011 is remitted back to the learned Magistrate for fresh disposal considering the pleas of the petitioner with regard to the various documents mentioned by him in the petition. The counsel for the petitioner can raise his pleas before the learned Magistrate. 5 Accordingly, this revision is disposed of at the admission stage. ------------- 30.06.2011 Kvsn
