2. There is prima facie substance in the contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner that no reason is stated for opting to go under Section 223 instead of 175(3) of BNSS. The only reason stated is delay in lodging the complaint, the explanation for which, though stated in paragraph 31 of the complaint, is also not adverted to.

Hence, there shall be an interim stay of further proceedings based on Annexure A33 order in CMP No.7306 of 2024 on the files of the Judicial First Class Magistrate Crl. M.C Nos.3425 of 2025 2 Court-IX, Ernakulam till the next posting date.
