Om Gayatri And Co. And Ors. vs State Of Maharashtra And Anr. on 20 October, 2005
After referring to the earlier judgment in Bindeshwari Prasad Singh v. Kali Singh it is held that the learned Magistrate had absolutely no jurisdiction to recall the order of dismissing the complaint. The remedy of the respondent was to move the Sessions Judge or the High Court in revision. The point whether an appeal or revision lies against the order of acquittal passed under Section 256(1) Cr. P. C. was not before the Court and was not decided by the Court in this ruling. This judgment therefore is not an authority on the point whether a revision or appeal lies against an order of acquittal passed under Section 256(1) of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
