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.
