can session court do revision on order of summon of mm court in 498a
20-Jan-2025 (In Criminal Law)
MM court issue summon to all accused despite IO put the name on column number 12 as no evidence. MM court did not check the present case is violation of section 300 and jurisdiction issue and in sufficient material to start the trial, can revision be filed in the session court to set aside the summoning order and dispose of the case.
If the MM (Metropolitan Magistrate) court has issued summons despite insufficient evidence as indicated by the IO (Investigation Officer) and a violation of jurisdiction or procedural norms (e.g., Section 300 or otherwise), you have the following options:
File a Revision Petition: Approach the Sessions Court under Section 397 of the CrPC to challenge the summoning order. State that the evidence is inadequate and the MM court failed to assess jurisdictional and procedural requirements.
Highlight Column 12 Evidence: Emphasize that the IO placed your name in Column 12, indicating no incriminating evidence, and this should have been considered by the MM court.
Argue Jurisdiction: If there’s a jurisdictional issue, include this point in your revision application. Courts cannot proceed without proper jurisdiction.
Seek Case Dismissal: Request that the Sessions Court set aside the summons and dispose of the case due to lack of sufficient material.
Yes, it is clear that the names mentioned in the column 12 reflect that the accused is not chargesheeted, so you have all your right to appeal that summoning order before sessions and higher courts. In my opinion you should not wait for the framing of the charge and go for setting aside that summoning order.
Sir,this is the early stage of the court to summon the accused or the parties. on the later stage you can submit your documents or application regarding removal of the name of the accused, if there is no evidence the court will itself discharge the parties.
For details I need to go through the case details. Plz connect over call or message for further process.
Thanks
