Sahani, Advocate For the State : Mr. Someshwar Roy, A.P.P. -------- Order No. 06/ dated 08.01.2025 Heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned A.P.P. for the State. 2. This Cr. Misc. Petition under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. has been filed challenging the order dated 29.03.2027 passed in Cr. Revision No. 60 of 2016 by the learned Addl. Sessions Judge-VI, Giridih whereby and whereunder the order passed by the learned 2 Sub-Divisional Magistrate, Dumri in connection with Case No. 150 of 2015 under Section 107 of the Code of Criminal Procedure by which further extension of time for concluding the enquiry was rejected and proceeding was dropped, has been affirmed by the Revisional Court. 3. It is submitted by the learned Counsel for the petitioner that the Revisional Court upholding the order passed by the learned Sub-Divisional Magistrate, Dumri dropping the proceedings under Section 107 of the Code of Criminal Procedure has recorded observation at para 8 of the order that although the learned Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate has discretion to extend the period of enquiry in case of existence of reasonable ground and he also found that there is no illegality in the impugned order but at the same time it is observed that if the learned Magistrate finds any reasonable apprehension of breach of peace, the proceeding under Section 107 of Cr.P.C. can be initiated to maintain the law and order as it is a preventive measure. The petitioner is obsessed from the aforesaid observation for initiation of another proceeding under Section 107 of Cr.P.C. Therefore, this petition was filed. 4. On the other hand, learned A.P.P. has submitted that even if the aforesaid observation is not made by the learned trial court in exigency of circumstances, the learned Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate is always at liberty to issue a proceeding under Section 107 of Cr.P.C. or any other proceeding of like nature. 3 Therefore, there is no reason to interfere with the aforesaid observation or impugned order passed by the Revisional Court and this petition is devoid of merit and fit to be dismissed. 5. I have gone through the record along with impugned order. 6. It appears that the point raised by the learned Counsel for the petitioner is only speculation about the initiation of further proceeding and cannot be entertained. 7. I do not find any merit in this petition which stood dismissed. (Pradeep Kumar Srivastava, J.) P.K.S.
