(Delivered by Hon'ble Vinod Prasad, J.)<br />

1. Heard Sri C.B. Singh, learned<br />

counsel for the revisionist, Sri Lalit Kumar<br />

Shukla for the complainant, learned A.G.A.<br />

and perused the record.<br />

2. By this revision summoning order<br />

d<strong>at</strong>ed 3.1.2011 passed by the C.J.M.,<br />

M<strong>at</strong>hura in complaint case no. 3100 <strong>of</strong><br />

2009, Tek Chanda Sharma Vs. Jile Singh<br />

and other, for <strong>of</strong>fences under section<br />

302,201 I.P.C. has been challenged.<br />

3. The incident, in the present case<br />

rel<strong>at</strong>es with murder <strong>of</strong> Bhar<strong>at</strong> Lal, in respect<br />

<strong>of</strong> which an F.I.R. was got registered<br />

against unknown persons. Investig<strong>at</strong>ion<br />

which ensued ultim<strong>at</strong>ely culmin<strong>at</strong>ing in<br />

charge sheet Hari Singh as an accused for<br />

the crime. Findings his case triable by <strong>Court</strong><br />

<strong>of</strong> Sessions, the same was committed for his<br />

trial to the Sessions <strong>Court</strong> where it is still<br />

continuining.<br />

4. Informant, on being aggrieved by<br />

non-filing <strong>of</strong> charge sheet against the<br />

revisionist, thought it appropri<strong>at</strong>e to file a<br />

complaint case against the revisionist for<br />

committing murder <strong>of</strong> Bhar<strong>at</strong> Lal. C.J.M.<br />

took cognizance <strong>of</strong> the <strong>of</strong>fence and after<br />

observing due procedure prescribed for<br />

complaint case summoned the revisionist<br />

vide order d<strong>at</strong>ed 3.1.2011 which order now<br />

has been assailed in the instant revision.<br />

5. Supporting the revision, learned<br />

counsel for the revisionist submits th<strong>at</strong><br />

under Section 309 <strong>of</strong> the Code, the entire<br />

case in respect <strong>of</strong> murder <strong>of</strong> Bhar<strong>at</strong> Lal was<br />

committed to the Sessions <strong>Court</strong> on the<br />

earlier occasion <strong>of</strong> another accused Hari<br />

Singh and, therefore, cognizance qua<br />

revisionist on a subsequent occasion by<br />

C.J.M. in respct <strong>of</strong> th<strong>at</strong> very case is<br />

unsanctified. Learned counsel for the<br />

revisionist further submits th<strong>at</strong> after<br />

committal <strong>of</strong> case qua Hari Singh, C.J.M.<br />

had become functus <strong>of</strong>ficio. He further<br />

contends th<strong>at</strong> once the charge sheet has<br />

been submitted in respect <strong>of</strong> a crime, no<br />

further complaint can be entertained in<br />

respect <strong>of</strong> same incident nor anybody else<br />

can be added as an accused. In support <strong>of</strong><br />

his submissions, learned counsel based his<br />

opinion on the decision <strong>of</strong> the Apex <strong>Court</strong><br />

in the case <strong>of</strong> Jai Chandra Singh and<br />

another Vs. St<strong>at</strong>e <strong>of</strong> Punjab and another<br />

(1997) 1 SCC 345.
