accepted without passing any order on the<br />
protest petition filed by the complainant<br />
in the case where prima facie <strong>of</strong>fences are<br />
disclosed from the averments made in the<br />
FIR,: is the main legal question th<strong>at</strong> falls<br />
for consider<strong>at</strong>ion in both these<br />
applic<strong>at</strong>ions under section 482 <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Code <strong>of</strong> Criminal Procedure (in short, ‘the<br />
Cr.P.C.’).<br />

been challenged by means <strong>of</strong> these<br />
applic<strong>at</strong>ions under section 482 Cr.P.C.,<br />
but since the common legal question is<br />
involved in both these applic<strong>at</strong>ions, hence<br />
for the sake <strong>of</strong> convenience, they are<br />
being decided by this common order.<br />

facts emerging from the record leading to<br />
the filling <strong>of</strong> these applic<strong>at</strong>ions, in brief,<br />
are th<strong>at</strong> an FIR was lodged on 17.10.2007<br />
