2. The Court made the following ORDER: This Criminal Revision Case has been filed against the docket order dated 26.11.2024 passed in CrI.MP No.4914 of 2024 in CC No.340 of 2022 by the learned Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Ramachandrapuram. 2. Petitioner herein is accused in CC No.340 of 2022 on the file of the learned Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Ramachandrapuram. In the said case, CrI.MP No.4914 of 2024
2 was filed by the petitioner/accused, under Section 72(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, seeking to recall the NBW issued against him on 04.11.2022.
By the impugned order dated 26.11.2024, the learned Magistrate dismissed the said application on the ground that the NBW was pending from 04.11.2022 and the case was being posted from time to time for appearance of the petitioner/accused. Against the said dismissal
order, the present Criminal Revision Case has been filed.
3.
Learned counsel for the petitioner/accused submits that the petitioner/accused paid amounts to a tune of Rs.2,02,000/- to the complainant from 13.11.2023 to till date, as such he did not attend the Court.
4. It is pertinent to mention here that the petitioner, being a Police Constable, is expected to follow the procedure contemplated under law. More so, when the case is being posted from time to time, it is obligatory on the part of the petitioner/accused to attend the Court on each and every adjournment or take steps to see that his presence is dispensed with in accordance with law. Irrespective of the said fact, since the petitioner/accused has paid substantial amounts to the
complainant, this Court is inclined to allow the Criminal Revision Case.
5. Accordingly, the Criminal Revision Case is allowed and the impugned order dated 26.11.2024 passed in CrI.MP No.4914 of 2024 in CC No.340 of 2022 by the learned Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Ramachandrapuram is set aside. The petitioner herein/accused is directed to appear before the learned Magistrate within a period of two (2) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and make appropriate application under Section 72(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, before the trial Court for recalling of NBW issued against him and, on making such application, the learned Magistrate shall consider the same and recall the NBW issued against the petitioner herein, on such terms and conditions, in accordance with law, on the same day. After recalling of NBW, the petitioner shall appear before the Court below on each and every date of adjournment without fail. As a sequel thereto, the miscellaneous petitions, if any pending in this Criminal Revision Case, shall stand closed.
