KARNAIL SINGH Vs. STATE OF PUNJAB

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS is a petition for quashing complaint No. 145/1, dated 5.3.1997, Annexure P-3, pending in the Court of Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Jagraon and also for setting aside the summoning order dated 17.3.1998, Annexure P-4 for offences under Sections 467, 468, 471 IPC.

(2.) AT the hearing learned counsel for the petitioner very fairly stated that the order passed by the Magistrate for summoning the petitioner is revisable order. The inherent power of the High Court cannot be pressed in aid for the purposes of indirectly undoing or modifying an order which is appealable or revisable.

(3.) IN the instant case, admittedly the order is revisable. Therefore, this petition can not be adjudicated upon on merits. Hence, the petition is dismissed. However, the petition is at liberty, if so advised to make an application before the trial Court or before the revisional Court for dropping the proceedings. The petitioner is at liberty to take all the pleas which has been taken in this petition before the trial Court. Petition dismissed.
