Decided On February 02, 2012
ATUL DEKA Appellant
V/S
STATE OF ASSAM Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) NONE has appeared on behalf of the parties concerned.

(2.) WITH the help of this application, made under Section 482 Cr.PC., the petitioner has sought for setting aside and quashing the First Information Report (in short, 'FIR'), which has led to the registration of Dibrugarh Police Station Case No.636/2006 under Sections 465/468/199/200/34 IPC.

(3.) IN the circumstances indicated above, it was wholly illegal, on the part of the Officer-in-Charge, Dibrugarh Police Station, not to register a case on the basis of the complaint by declining to treat the same as FIR pursuant to the order passed, on 28.11.2006, by the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Dibrugarh. The learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Dibrugarh, therefore, committed no error of law in directing, on 22.12.2006, the Officer-in-Charge, Dibrugarh, to register a case and this is precisely what has been done in the present case.
