On a perusal of the record, it appears that the Police/Prosecuti on filed application under Section 311(A) Cr.P.C., for obtaining signatures of the petitioner. The grievance of the petitioner is that the learned 2 Magistrate without giving liberty to the petitioner to raise objections issued summons directing him to give signatures and therefore, the order of the learned Magistrate is not in accordance with facts of the case as well as the same is against the law. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court 4. is of the considered opinion that the present Criminal Petition can be disposed of at the stage of admission itself, remitting the matter to the learned Magistrate by setting aside the impugned orders passed by the learned Magistrate. Learned Magistrate is further directed to issue summons to the petitioner and consider his objections on the said applications filed by the prosecution and pass appropriate orders afresh on the said applications, in accordance with law, after hearing both sides and by taking into consideration the law laid down by the Hon’ble Apex Court in M/s.JM Laboratories and Others Vs.
