(3.) BEFORE I enter into the merit of the present application made under Section 482 Cr.P.C. and/or before I decide the correctness of the impugned order, dated 15-10-2007, whereby the learned Magistrate has taken cognizance of offences under Sections under Sections 384 and 109 of the IPC and directed issuance of warrants of arrest and also issuance of search warrant, it is apposite to take note of the position of law as regards criminality in a transaction involving a hire purchase agreement.
