The Court made the following:
ORDER:
Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Public Prosecutor.
2. The Criminal Revision Case has been filed challenging the order dated 30.10.2025 in Crl.M.P.No.81 of 2025 in S.C.No.73 of 2022, dismissing the application filed for recalling of the warrant issued against the petitioner on 30.10.2025. The learned Trial Court observed that the petitioner, who is Accused No.2 before it, was absent and had not been attending the Court for several adjournments. Therefore, a Non-Bailable Warrant was issued against the petitioner.
3. As per Section 397(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (for brevity ‘the Cr.P.C.,’) against an interlocutory order, a revision is not maintainable. The impugned order is undoubtedly an interlocutory order against which no revision lies as per Section 397(2) of ‘the Cr.P.C.,’ therefore, the petition is liable to be dismissed.
4. Accordingly, the Criminal Revision Case is dismissed. However, the petitioner/Accused No.2 is permitted to surrender before the learned Jurisdictional Court concerned within a period of two weeks from this date. On such surrender, the learned Jurisdictional Magistrate

concerned is directed to consider the application on its own merits, in accordance with law, on the same day.
5. In the result, the Criminal Revision Case is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs.
As a sequel, Miscellaneous petitions, if any pending, shall stand closed.
