Hon'ble Om Prakash-VII,J.
The present application under Section 482 Cr.P.C. has been filed by the applicant with the prayer to quash the impugned order dated 3.5.2019 passed by Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Court No. 2, Gautam Budh Nagar in Misc. Case No. 207 of 2019 (Dr. Bhawna Jaiswal Vs. Dr. Rakesh Malhotra) under Section 156 (3) Cr.P.C., Police Station Sector 49, NOIDA, district Gautam Budh Nagar.
Heard learned counsel for the applicant and the learned AGA appearing for the State.
It is submitted by the learned counsel for the applicant that the Magistrate concerned treated the application under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C. as complaint on the basis of insufficient ground. There is necessity of investigation in the matter by the police.The Magistrate concerned has passed the impugned order without applying judicial mind.
On the other hand, learned AGA has submitted that the impugned order does not suffer from any illegality or infirmity warranting interference of this Court.
Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, after perusing the entire record and having considered the submissions made by the learned counsel for the parties, I am of the view that no case is made out to interfere with the impugned order. The impugned order does not suffer from any infirmity or illegality. As per the settled legal position, the Court / Magistrate is not always bound to pass order for registering the case and investigation on the application under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C. disclosing a cognizable offence. It may exercise its discretion judiciously and if it is of the view that in the facts and circumstances of the case, it will be appropriate to treat the application as a complaint case then the Magistrate may proceed with according to the procedure provided under Chapter XV of Cr.P.C. It is also clarified that if report is necessary on any point, the learned Magistrate is competent enough to call for report from the police concerned on given points. Further, it is open to the applicant to raise the question before the court concerned at the appropriate stage. Hence, the prayer made in the present application is refused.
The application is dismissed.
