Summarize the following court judgment. minal Appeal No. 172 of 1962. Appeal by special leave from the judgment and order dated March 7	 1962	 of the Mysore High Court in Criminal Revision Case No. 100 of 1961. B. Gopalakrishnan	 for the appellant. B. R. L. Iyengar and P. D. Menon	 for the respondent. May 8. The judgment of the Court was delivered by RAGHUBAR DAYAL J. This appeal by special leave is directed against the order of the High Court of Mysore rejecting the reference by the Sessions Judge	 Shimoga Division	 recommending the quashing of the commitment order of the Magistrate committing the accused to the Sessions for trial of offences under sections 307 and 326	 I.P.C.	 on the ground that the Magistrate could not have taken cognizance of the offences without the sanction of the State Government in view of the provisions of sections 132 and 197 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The case against the appellant was started on the complaint of one Kenchappa who alleged that 674 the Sub Inspector and another person had severely beaten one Thimma and that the Sub Inspector	 when forcibly taking away Thimma and requested by Kenchappa to excuse Thimma if he had misbehaved	 wantonly fired from his revolver at Hanumanthappa and Shivalingappa. It Is on this complaint that	 after preliminary enquiry	 the Magistrate committed Nagraj	 the appellant	 to the Court of Session for trial. The facts of the incident	 according to the The facts of the incident	 according to the appellant and the basis of the counter case	 are these. The appellant was a Sub Inspector of Police in the State of Mysore. He was posted at Yagati	 Kadur Taluk	 in September 1959. On September 7	 1959	 he arrested one Gidda	 manufacturing illicit liquor and sent him with the constable to the police station. Thereafter	 he arrested Thimma who was supposed to be in league with Gida in manufacturing liquor. When Thimma was being taken to the police station by the Sub Inspector and a constable a crowd of about 20 or 30 persons rushed at them	 surrounded them and the police officials attacked them and rescued Thimma. Nagraj asked those people not to resort to violence	 but to remain calm. The people however	 did not pay heed to the advice	 caught the constable and asked Nagraj to stay there till one Kenchappa came. Upon this	 the Sub Inspector again told them to go away without creating any trouble and said that there was no reason for him to wait for Kenchappa. The people threatened him and the constable with dire consequences if they left the place. just then Kenchappa came and then these persons encircled the Sub Inspector and the constable and the Sub Inspector	 apprehending danger to his life and that of the constable	 first fired his revolver in the air and when the people pelted stones at him and grappled with him	 two shots went off from the revolver and injured two persons	 Hanumanthappa and Shivalingappa. Kenchappa snatched 675 the revolver	 leather bag with the ammunition pouch and the two mahazars prepared by the SubInspector regarding the prohibition case. The people beat the Sub Inspector and carried him to a pond saying that they would throw him into it. They were	 however	 released at the remonstrance of one Basappa. The persons who are said to have attacked Nagraj that day have also been committed to the Court of Session for trial	 of offences under ss	 147	 332	 341 and 395 read with s.149	 though prosecuted for offences under sections 143	 147	 149	 224	 225	 395 and 34	 I.P.C. The Sessions judge made the reference for the quasbing of the commitment of the a appellant as it appeared that the two cases arose out one incident that the Sub Inspector was at the time discharging his duties	 that while discharging his duties he had to disperse an unlawful assembly by force as his own life and that of his subordinate were in jeopardy and that therefore previous sanction of the Government under section 197 of the Code was necessary	 for the Court 's taking cognizance of the offence against him as the Power of dismissing a Sub Inspector of Police vested in the Government. He was also of opinion that even if the Sub Inspector had fired without any justification as alleged by the complainant	 sanction under section 132 of the Code was necessary. He observed : "Now	 it cannot be gainsaid that at that time he was clearly on duty and was taking Thimma to the Police station in the discharge of his official duty as a Sub Inspector. A large number of persons then surrounded him and rescued Thimma. It cannot also hence be denied that there was an unlawful assembly which the SubInspector was entitled to disperse by force. Now section 132 of the Cr. P.C. is clearly a bar to 676 the prosecution of police officers purporting to act under Chapter IX of the Cr. P. C. which deals with unlawful assemblies without the sanction of the local Government. " The High Court rightly observed that the Sessions judge was wrong in practically accepting the version of the appellant that he was surrounded by a number of persons who constituted an unlawful assembly and that they rescued Thimma and that therefore he was entitled to disperse the unlawful assembly by force. The High Gourtheld that the Sub Inspector of Police could be removed from service by the Deputy Inspector General of Police and that therefore no question of sanction under section 197 arose. It further held that before a Court could hold that the cognizance of the case had been taken by the Magistrate without sanction of the Government under section 132	 it must be established that there was an unlawful assembly and that the police officer purported to disperse the assembly under any of the sections 128 to 131 of the Code. The High Court stated later : "Section 132 Cr. P.C. has nothing to do with the ingredients of any offence. It is a protection against prosecution. In order to obtain its benefit the accused person need not prove that the acts complained of were done under circumstances mentioned in Section 132 Cr. In other words	 he must place before the judge materials and circumstances justify ing an inference that there was an unlawful assembly and the acts complained of were Durported to have been done while dispersing that assembly. " The High Court further held that it is for the Sessions judge to decide on facts established in 677 the case whether section 132 Or. P.C. was applicable and if he came to the conclusion that the facts of the case brought it within the provisions of section 132	 Cr. P.C.	 the Sessions judge was at liberty to reject the complaint holding that it was barred under section 132	 Cr. P.C. Lastly	 the High Court suggested that the Sessions case against the other party be tried first and that if after its trial the Sessions judge was satisfied that the complaint against the accused was barred under section 132 Or. P.C.	 it would be appropriate for him to reject that complaint on that ground alone. Learned Counsel for the appellant has raised four contentions in this Court : (1) The appellant as Sub Inspector of Police could be dismissed by the State Government alone and that	 therefore	 sanction under section 197 of the Code was necessary for his prosecution of the offences spurported to have been committed in the discharge of his duty. (2) That a police officer cannot be prosecuted without a sanction from the State Government for an offence which the police officer alleges	 took place during the course of performance of duties under Ch. IX of the Code. (3) That when both a case and a counter case have been committed for trial to the Sessions Court it could be said that the appellant has prima facie established his version of the incident and that his producing a copy of the committal order in the counter case is sufficient for holding that sanction under section 132	 Or. P.C. was necessary. (4) That it is not necessary for the police officer to prove conclusively that he was dispersing an unlawful assembly before he can raise the plea of want of sanction as a bar from prosecution. We are not satisfied that the appellant	 the Sub Inspector can be dismissed by the State 678 Government alone. Section 4 (c) of the Mysore Police Act	 1908 (Act No. V of 1908)	 hereinafter called the Act	 provides that unless there be something repugnant in the subject or context the word "inspector ' in the Act	 subject to such rules and orders as the Government may pass	 includes 'Sub Inspector. ' Section 8 states that the appointment of Inspectors of such grades as Government may from time to time prescribe shall be made by Government and the dismissal of Inspectors of all grades shall vest in Government. It is on the basis of these two provisions that it is submitted for the appellant that it is the Government which can dismiss him as he	 though a Sub Inspector	 is an Inspector for the purposes of section 8 of the Act. The contention is not sound. It is the dismissal of Inspectors of all grades which vests in the Government. It appears there are Inspectors of various grades. Inspectors of some grades were appointed by the Government but the dismissal of Inspectors of all grades is vested in the Government. In this context the word 'Inspector ' in section 8 will not include Sub Inspector as he could not possibly be an Inspector of any grade. Subsection (1) of section 26 of the Act further provides that any officer authorised by sub section (3) in that behalf may dismiss any police officer below the grade of Assistant Superintendent and sub section (3) provides that subject to the provisions of section 8	 the InspectorGeneral shall have authority to punish any Police Officer below the grade of Assistant Superintendent. It follows that the Inspector General of Police can dismiss a Sub Inspector who is a police officer below the grade of Assistant Superintendent. No sanction therefore	 of the State Government for the prosecution of the appellant was necessary even if he had committed the offence alleged while acting or purporting to act in the discharge of his official duty. Before dealing with the other contentions raised we may refer to the provisions of Ch. IX of 679 the Code of Criminal Procedure which has the heading 'unlawful assemblies. ' Section 127 empowers any Magistrate or officer in charge of a police station to command any unlawful assembly or any assembly of five or more persons likely to cause a disturbance of the public peace	 to disperse and further provides that it shall be the duty of the members of such assembly to disperse on command. If such a command is not obeyed by the members of such an assembly	 section 128 authorizes the Magistrate or the officer in charge of the police station to use civil force to disperse the assembly. Civil force can also be used even without giving such command	 if the conduct of the assembly shows a determination not to disperse. Such officer can call upon any male person to assist in the dispersing of the assembly and can also arrest and confine the persons who form part of the assembly. Sections 129 and 130 deal with the use of military force in the dispersing of such assembly and of the duty of the officer commanding the armed forces called upon to disperse such assembly. Section 131 authorises any commissioned officer of the armed forcees	 in the absence of any communication with any Magistrate	 to disperse such an assembly with the help of armed forces in certain circumstances. The officers and persons who act under these provisions for the purpose of dispersing	 the unlawful assembly are protected from prosecution under the provisions of section 132 on which the appellant relies. The relevant portion of this section	 for the purpose of this appeal	 reads : "No prosecution against any person for any act purporting to be done under this Chapter shall be instituted in any. Criminal Court	 except with the sanction of the State Government; and (a) no Magistrate or police officer acting under this Chapter in good faith	 x x 680 shall be deemed to have thereby committed an	 offence". It is clear that when a complaint is made to a criminal court against any police officer and makes allegations indicating that the police officer had acted or purported to act under sections 127 and 128 of the Code and in so doing committed some offence complained of	 the Court will not entertain the complaint unless it appears that the State Government had sanc tioned the prosecution of that police officer. If the allegations in the complaint do not indicate such facts	 the Court can have no ground for looking to the sanction of the Government and in the absence of such a sanction for refusing to entertain the comp laint. It must proceed with the complaint in the same manner as it would have done in connection with complaints against any other per son. The occasion for the Court to consider whether the complaint could be filed without the sanction of the Government would be when at any later stage of the proceedings it appears to the Court that the action of the police officer complained of appears to come within the provisions of Ss. 127 and 128 of the Act. This can be either when the accused appears before the Court and makes such a suggestion or when evidence or circumstances Prima facie show it. The mere suggestion of the accused will not	 however be sufficient for the Court to hold that sanction was necessary. The Court can consider the necessity of sanction only when from the evidence recorded in the: proceedings or the circumstances of the case it be possible to ' hold either definitely that the alleged criminal conduct was committed or was probably committed in connection with action under sections 127 and 128 of the Code. It is contended for the appellant that if the question of sanction is not decided in the very first 681 instance when a complaint is filed or when the accualleges that he could not be prosecuted for the alleged offences without the sanction of Government in view of section 132 of the Code	 the protection given by this section will be nugatory as the object of giving this protection is that the police officer be not harassed by any frivolous complaint. There may be some such harassment of the accused	 but the Court has no means to hold in the circumstances alleged that the prosecution of the accused was in connection with such action as the complaint did not disclose the necessary circumstances indicating that fact and the bare word of the accused cannot be accepted to hold otherwise. just as a complainant is likely to omit mentioning the facts which would necessitate the sanction of Government before he can prosecute the accused	 the accused too is likely to make such allegations which may lead to the rejection of the complaint for want of sanction. It is well settled that the jurisdiction of the Court to proceed with the complaint emanates from the allegations made in the complaint and not from what is alleged by the accused or what is finally established in the case as a result of the evidence recorded. In this connection reference may be appropria tely made to the observations of this Court in connection with prosecution to which the provisions of section 197 of the Code apply. In Matajog Dobey vs H. C. Bhari (1)	 in connection with the question "is the need for sanction to be considered as soon as the complaint is lodged and on the allegations therein contained?"	 it was said : "The question may arise at any stage of the proceedings. The complaint may not disclose that the act constituting the offence was done or purported to be done in the discharge of official duty; but facts subsequently coming to light on a police or judicial inquiry or even in (1) ; 	935	 682 the course of the prosecution evidence at the trial	 may establish the necessity for sanction. Whether sanction is necessary or not may have to be determined from stage to stage. The necessity may reveal itself in the course of the progress of the case. " It follows	 therefore	 that the contention that a police officer cannot be prosecuted without the sanction from the State Government for an offence which he alleges to have taken place during the course of his performing the duties under ("h. IX of the Code cannot be accepted. His mere allegation will not suffice for the purpose and will not force the Court to throw away the complaint of which it had properly taken cognizance on the basis of the allegations in the complaint. The third contention really is that the Court can hold that sanction wag necessary if the appellant could prima facie show that his action which is complained of was in connection with the performance of his duties under ss.127 and 128 of the Code. Assuming that this is the position in law	 it does not appear from the record which consists of the orders of the Sessions judge and the High Court that the evidence in this case prima facie establishes that the appellant 's contention that his acts complained of were such for which he could not be prosecuted without the sanction of the Government. In this case the High Court has definitely said that the Sessions judge did not arrive at any such conclusion and had made the reference on a mere acceptance of the accused 's version	 for which there was no justification. It is contended for the appellant that the mere fact that some of the persons alleged to have formed part of the unlawful assembly were prosecuted by the State and have also been committed by the Magistrate to the Sessions Court for trial establishes prima facie that the accused 's contention about the necessity 683 for sanction under section 132 of the Code. is correct. The commitment of the other accused is on the basis of evidence in that case and cannot be legally taken into consideration to decide the question raised in this case. The question is to be decided on the evidence in this case and not on the basis of evidence and inferenccs drawn in the other case. The third contention	 therefore	 has no force. The next question and the real question to decide then is to determine what the accused has to show in order to get the benefit of the provisions of section 132 of the code in the case. To get such a benefit and to put off a clear decision on the question whether his conduct amounts to an offence or not	 the appellant has to show (i) that there was an unlawful assembly or an assembly of five or more persons likely to cause a disturbance of the public peace ; (ii) that such an assembly was commanded to disperse ; (iii) that either the assembly did not disperse on such command or	 if no command had been given; its conduct had shown a determination not to disperse ; and (iv) that in the circumstances he had used force against the members of such assembly. He has to establish these facts just in the same manner as an accused has to establish any other exception he pleads in defence of his conduct in a criminal case. It is sufficiently well settled that it is for the prosecution to prove the offence in the sense that the offence was committed in the circumstances in which no recourse to an exception could be taken and	 therefore	 if the accused establishes such circumstances which either conclusively establish to the satisfaction of the Court or make the Court believe them to be probable that the case comes within the exception that would be sufficient compliance on the part of the accused with respect to his proving the exception to prove which the onus was on him. In the present case therefore the accused has to show to the Court that the alleged offences were committed during the performance of his 684 duties in the circumstances narrated above. On his so showing	 it would be the duty of the Court to hold that the complaint could not have been entertained without the sanction of the Government under section 132 of the Code. To show this is not equivalent to the accused establishing facts which would be necessary for him to take advantage of the provisions of section 79 of the Indian Penal Code as had been thought in some of the cases cited to us. Section 79	 I.P.C. deals with circumstances which when proved makes acts complained of not an offence. The circumstances to be established to get the protection of section 132	 Or. P.C. are not circumstances which make the acts complained of no offence	 but are circumstances which require the sanction of the Government in the taking of cognizance of a complaint with respect to the offences alleged to have been committed by the accused. If the circumstances to be established for seeking the protection of section 132 of the Code were to make the alleged conduct no offence	 there could be no question of a prosecution with the sanction of the State Government. This distinction had not been considered in the cases we were referred to. It is not necessary to refer to those cases which were ultimately decided on the basis that the allegations either in the complaint or taken together with what had appeard from the evidence on record justified the conclusion that the action complained of came under sections 127 and 128 of the Code and that no prosecution in con nection with such an action could be instituted in the Court without the sanction of the State Government. The last question to consider is that if the Court comes at any stage to the conclusion that the prosecution could not have been instituted without the sanction of the Government	 what should be the procedure to be followed by it	 i e.	 whether the Court should discharge the accused or acquit him of the charge if framed against him or just drop the procee dings and pass no formal order of discharge or 685 acquittal as contemplated in the case of a prosecution under the Code. The High Court has said that when the Sessions judge be satisfied that the facts proved bring the case within the mischief of section 132 of the Code then he is at liberty to reject the complaint holding that it is barred by that section. We consider this to be the right order to be passed in those circumstances. It is not essential that the Court must pass a formal order discharging or acquitting the accused. In fact no such order can be passed. If section 132 applies	 the complaint could not have been instituted without the sanction of the Government and the proceedings on a complaint so instituted would be void		 the Court having no jurisdiction to take those proceedings. When the proceedings be void	 the Court is not competent to pass any order except an order that the proceedings be dropped and the complaint is rthe relating to Bombay and reads thus: "(1) The body known as the Bombay State Road Transport Corporation and the Board thereof	 referred to in the notification of the Government of Bombay	 No. 1780/5	 dated the 16th November	 1949 (hereinafter referred to as the existing Corporation ' and 'Board ' respectively) shall	 notwithstanding any defect in	 or invalidity of the enactment or order under which they were constituted	 be deemed for all purposes to have been validly constituted as if all the provisions of the said notification had been included and enacted in this section and this section had been in force continuously on and from the said date	 and accordingly (a) all action by	 and all transactions with	 the existing Corporation or Board	 including any action or transaction by which any property	 asset or right was acquired or any liability or obligation whether by contract or otherwise	 was incurred	 shall be deemed to have been validly and lawfully taken or done; and (b) no suit	 prosecution or other legal proceeding shall lie against the Government of Bombay or any member of the 694 Board or any officer or servant of the existing Corporation in respect of any action taken by	 or in relation to the setting up of	 the existing Corporation or Board merely on the ground of any defect in	 or invalidity of	 the enactment or order under which the existing Corporation or Board was constituted. (2) On the establishment of a Corporation under section 3 in the State of Bombay (hereinafter referred to as 'the New Corporation ') (a) the existing Corporation and Board shall be deemed to be dissolved and shall cease to function; (b) all property and assets vesting in the existing Corporation shall vest in the new Corporation; (c) all rights	 liabilities and obligations. of the existing Corporation	 whether arising out of any contract or otherwise	 shall be the rights	 liabilities and obligatorily	 respectively	 of the new Corporation; and (d) all licences and permits granted to all contracts made with	 and all instruments executed on behalf of the existing Corporation or Board shall be deemed to have been granted to	 made with	 or executed on behalf of	 the new Corporation and shall have effect accordingly. " It will be clear from these provisions that the old Corporation was recognised as having always had valid legal status and deemed to have been properly incorporated. On the establishment of a Corporation under section 3 of the Act of 1950 the old 695 Corporation was dissolved. But all action by and transaction with the old Corporation including any action or transaction by which any property or asset etc.	 was acquired by or for the old Corporation was deemed to have been validly or lawfully taken or done. It is common ground that in consequence of the passing of the Act of 1950 the Bombay Act of 1950 stood impliedly repealed and was in fact expressly repealed 'by the Bombay Act 29 of 1955. The provisions which we have set out above clearly show that the State Transport Corporation having been incorporated by an Indian law is a Company. Since	 however	 the compensation to be awarded for the acquisition is to be paid only by the Corporation and no portion of it was paid by the Government	 could it be said that the terms of the proviso to sub section (1) of section 6 have been satisfied ? It is contended by the learned Attorney Generalon behalf of the respondent that the funds of the Corporation have themselves come out of public revenue inasmuch as they consist of moneys provided by the State of Bombay. Even assuming that the funds of the Corporation consist only of the moneys which have been provided by the State of Bombay it is difficult to appreciate how they could be regarded as part of the public revenue. No doubt	 the source of the funds would be public revenue but the funds themselves belong to the Corporation and are held by it as its own property. They cannot	 therefore	 be regarded as 'public revenue ' in any sense. It was then said by reference to several provisions of the Act that the Government is entitled to exercise control over the Corporation	 that the profits earned by the Corporation would go to the Government	 that if the Corporation was wound up all its assets would also go to the Government and that	 therefore	 the Corporation could be regarded as noth ing more than a limb of the Government. Even though that may be so. the Corporation is certainly not a department of Government but is a separate legal 696 entity and	 therefore	 moneys coming out of public revenues whether invested	 loaned or granted to it would change their original character and become the funds or assets of the Corporation when they are invested in or transferred or loaned to it. While	 therefore	 the terms of the proviso could be said to have been satisfied because compensation is to be paid by the Corporation	 the acquisition will be bad because the provisions of Part VII of the Land Acquisition Act have not been complied with. In order to get out of this difficulty the learned Attorney General argued that the State Transport Corporation is a local authority. The expression "Local authority" is not defined in the Land Acquisition Act but is defined in section 3 (31) of the 	 as follows : " 'local authority ' shall mean a municipal committee	 district board	 body of port commissioners or other authority legally entitled to	 or entrusted by the Government with	 the control or management of a municipal or local fund:" The definitions given in the 	 govern all Central Acts and Regulations made after the commencement of the Act. No doubt	 this Act was enacted later in point of time than the Land Acquisition Act ; but this Act was a consolidating and amending Act and a definition given therein of the expression "local authority" is the same as that contained in the earlier Acts of 1868 and 1887. The definition given in section 3 (3 1) will	 therefore	 hold good for construing the expression "local authority" occurring in the Land Acquisition Act. We have already quoted the definition. It will be clear from the definition that unless it is shown that the State Transport Corporation is an 697 "authority ' and is legally entitle i to or entrusted by the Government with control or management of a local fund it cannot be regarded as a local authority. No material has been placed before us from which it could be deduced that the funds of the Corporation can be regarded as local funds. It was no doubt submitted by the learned Attorney General that the Corporation was furnished with funds by the Govern ment for commencing its business ; but even if that were so	 it is difficult to appreciate how that would make the funds of the Corporation local funds. Learned Attorney General then relied upon the provisions of section 29 of the Bombay State Road Transport Act	 1950	 which provides that the Corporation shall for all purposes be deemed to be a local authority. No doubt that is so. But the definition contained in this Act cannot override the definition contained in the of 1897 which alone must apply for construing the expression occur ring in a Central Act like the Land Acquisition Act unless there is something repugnant in the subject or context. Though land acquisition is now in the concurrent list and therefore	 the State can legislate	 the Bombay Act not having received the President 's assent	 cannot prevail against the meaning of the expression 'local authority ' in that Act. No repugnancy is pointed out. Then again	 the Act of 1948 had empowered the Province of Bombay	 among other provinces	 to appoint Road Transport Corporations and conferred power on the Provincial Governments under sections 5 and 6 to deal with compensation and winding up of Corporations so appointed. In pursuance of this power and after the commencement of the Constitution	 the Bombay Act of 1950 had been enacted by the State Legislature of Bombay. But by the repeal of the Act of 1948 by the Central Act of 1950 the foundation for the continuance and existence of the Bombay Act 698 of 1950 disappeared. Moreover	 since section 41 of the Central Act provided that a Corporation shall be deemed to be a local authority within the meaning 	 and not within the meaning of any other law	 the provisions of section 29 of the Bombay Act could in no circumstances be said to survive. In view of all this the learned Attorney General did not press his argument on the point further. In our view the acquisition impugned in this case having been made ' for the benefit of a Corporation	 though for a public purpose	 is bad because no part of the compensation is to come out of public revenues and the provisions of Part VII of the Land Acquisition Act have ' not been complied with. We	 therefore	 allow the appeals and decree the suits of the appellants with costs in all the courts. Appeals allowed.

The appellant	 a Sub Inspector of Police in Mysore State	 was committed to Sessions Court for trial on the complaint of K. K alleged that the appellant and another person had severely beaten T	 and that the appellant	 when forcibly taking away T	 and requested by K to excuse T	 wantonly fired on two persons. The appellant 's case	 on which his counter case is based	 is that while he and a constable	 after arresting	 were taking T to the P. )lice Station	 20 or 30 persons attacked them and rescued T. Not heeding to appellant 's advice to desist from violence. the crowed asked him to wait till K came. On appellant 's refusal	 the crowd threatened. just then K came. Apprehending danger to their lives	 the appellant first fired in the air	 but when the people pelted stones and grappled him	 two shots went off injuring two persons. K snatched his revolver and two mazahars. prepared by the appellant in T 's case	 and the people beat him. These persons have also been committed to the Sesions Court for trial. The Sesions Judge made the reference for quashing the commitment of the appellant	 holding that the Magistrate could not have taken cognizance of the offences without the sanction of the State Government in view of the provisions of sections 132 and 197 Code of Criminal Procedure. The High Court rejected the reference of the Sessions Judge for quashing the commitment order. On appeal by special leave	 the appellant contended that (1) the appellant could be dismissed by the State Government alone and	 therefore	 sanction under section 197 Code of Criminal Procedure was necessary ; (2) a police officer cannot be prosecuted without a sanction for an offence which the police officer alleges took place in course of his duty ; (3) when a case and 672 a counter case are both committed to Sessions Court	 it should be inferred that the appellant has prima facie established his version of the incident and that his Producing a copy of the committal order in the counter case is sufficient for holding that sanction under section 132 Code of Criminal Procedure was necessary	 and (4) it is not necessary for the police officer to prove conclusively that he was dispersing an unlawfull assembly before he can raise the plea of want of sanction. Hold that (1) in view of the provisions of sections 4 (C)	 8 and sub sections (1) & (3) of section 26 of the Mysore Police Act	 the Inspector General of Police can dismiss Sub Inspector and therefore	 no sanction of the State Government for prosecution of the appellant was necessary even if he had committed the offences alleged while acting or purporting to act in discharge of his official duty ; (2) the court can consider the necessity of sanction only when from the evidence recorded in the proceedings or the circumstances of the case it be possible to hold either definitely that the alleged offence was committed or was probably committed in connection with action under sections 127 and 128 of the Code. If at any stage of the proceedings it 'appears to the court that the action of the police officer complained of comes within the provisions of sections 127 and 128 of the Code	 the court should hold that sanction was necessary. The jurisdiction of the court to proceed with the complaint emanates from the allegations made in the complaint and not from what is alleged by the accused or what is finally established in the case as a result of the evidence recorded. Majajoj Dobey vs H. C. Bhari	 ; 	 referred to. (3) in the present case it does not appear from the record that the evidence prima facie establishes the appellant 's contention that be could not be prosecuted without the sanction of the Government. This question is to be decided on the evidence in this case and not on the basis of evidence and inferences drawn in the other case ; (4) in order that the appellant can get the benefit of the provisions of section 132 of the Code	 he has to establish that (i) there was an unlawful assembly likely to cause disturbance of public peace	 (ii) the assembly was commanded to disperse	(iii) the assembly did not disperse on the command or	 if no command had been given	 its conduct had shown a determination not to disperse; and (iv) in the circumstances he had 673 used force against the members of such assembly. This he has to do in the same manner as an accused has to establish an exception he pleads in his defence. Therefore	 the accused in the present case has to show to the court that the alleged offences were committed during the performance of his duties and on his so doing the court would hold that the complaint could not proceed without the sanction of the Government under section 132 of the Code. Held further	 that if the court decides that section 132 of the Code applies to the case the proceedings on the complaint instituted without the sanction would be void and the proper order for it to pass would be that the proceeding be dropped and the complaint rejected.
