As per the above said Judgment, if a cognizable offence is
disclosed through an application U/s 156(3) Cr. PC, the
Magistrate has no option but to order for registration of FIR. It is
further held in this judgment that application U/s 156(3) Cr. PC
cannot be treated as a complaint. However, this judgment has
been overruled by Division Bench of Allahbad Court, in case
titled as Sukhwasi Vs. State of U.P 2008 CRW 472 (Supra). I wish
4
it is an unintentional mistake on the part of Ld. Counsel for the
complainant.
