O R D E R
Dated this the 10th day of March 2020 The petitioner is the 3rd accused in C.C.No.390/2015 on the files of the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court-VIII, Ernakulam, for having allegedly committed the offences punishable under Sections 468, 471, 406 and 420 read with Section 34 of I.P.C. The petitioner has approached this Court by filing Crl.M.C. No.2860/2017 for quashing the proceedings under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. Interim order staying the proceedings in the case was granted, which is being extended from time to time. The petitioner filed C.M.P.No.325/2020 before the jurisdictional Magistrate seeking permission to go abroad. The learned Magistrate dismissed the said petition vide Annexure A3 order stating that the proceedings in C.C.No.390/2015 is stayed and therefore the petition shall be kept in the file till the stay is vacated.
Crl.M.C.No.1746 of 20203
I find that the order of the learned Magistrate is not proper, because what is intended by the stay granted by this Court is the trial of C.C.No.390/2015 and that is what is stayed. Nothing impedes the Magistrate from passing orders in C.M.P.No.325/2020, wherein the petitioner has sought permission to go abroad. Hence, the impugned order at Annexure A3 is set aside and the learned Magistrate is directed to consider C.M.P.No.325/2020 on its merits and dispose of the same, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
