4. The learned counsel for the respondent, at the outset, would raise a
preliminary objection regarding the maintainability of these revisions.
According to him, any order made by a Magistrate under the said Act is
appealable under Section 29 of the Act. When there is a statutory remedy of
appeal available, according to the learned counsel, these revisions are not
at all maintainable before this Court. The learned counsel would place
reliance on a judgment of this Court in K.Rajendran and another vs.
Ambikavathy and another reported in (2013) 2 MLJ (Crl) 406, where this Court
has held that such revision has not at all maintainable in view of the fact
that a remedy of appeal is available.
Therefore, I am bound to follow the decision, in Rajendran's case (cited supra). Without going into the merits of this case, this Court is of the view that the present case is not maintainable. Interim stay granted is vacated, and I have to dismiss the revision case.
