PROMILA RANI @ PROMILA KUMARI Vs. VIRENDER KUMAR

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS revision petition has arisen like this.

(2.) THE petitioner, Promila Rani, filed a criminal complaint against her ex-husband Virender Kumar respondent, complaining commission of offences under sections 406 and 498-A, Indian Penal Code, in the Court of Shri G. C Suman, Chief Judicial Magistrate, Ludhiana. After recording preliminary evidence, the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate vide order dated June 12, 1936, summoned the accused Virender Kumar as also five others related to Virender Kumar. Virender Kumar preferred a revision petition in the Court of Session, Ludhiana. The Additional Sessions Judge, Ludhiana, vide order dated September 8, 1988, under revision, quashed the complaint, taking the view that the Ludhiana Court had no territorial jurisdiction to try such offences. Challenging that order, the petitioner has come up in revision.

(3.) THE revision petition partially succeeds to the above extent. The petitioner through his counsel is directed to appear before the learned Magistrate on May 22, 1989. Petition party allowed.
