O R D E R

Petition filed under section 482 Cr.P.C.

2. Petitioners are accused in C.C. No. 233 of 2010 on the file of the Judicial First Class Magistrate-Thrissur. The allegation is that the learned Magistrate did not comply with Section 202 Cr.P.C.

3. Heard.

4. Though, this was initially filed as a complaint case the learned Magistrate referred the complaint to the Police under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C. The police registered the case on the basis of the complaint forwarded to the S.H.O. After investigation, final report was filed and the court took cognizance of the offences under Sections 498A and 506 IPC. Once it was referred to the police under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C it ceased to be a complaint case. There is no question of complying with Section 202 Cr.P.C. There is no merit in the Crl.M.C. In the result, this application is dismissed. Send back the records immediately.
