(2.) Final report was submitted by police in Case Crime No. 80 of 2009, under Sections 364/420 IPC, whereagainst protest petition was filed. Chief Judicial Magistrate, Bahraich by means of impugned order dated 23.12.2009 rejected final report, accepted protest petition and summoned applicants to face trial.

(3.) It is contended that order dated 23.12.2009 shows that Magistrate has examined and taken into consideration the material placed alongwith protest petition. That being so Magistrate could not have proceeded in the matter as police case but must have proceeded as complaint case and could have summoned accused only after recording statement of complainant under Section 200 Cr.P.C. and witnesses under Section 202 Cr.P.C.
