ORAL ORDER
Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner.
This petition is filed to quash the proceedings in C.C. No. 1525/2024 pending before IV Additional JMFC Court, Mysore, arising from PCR No.549/2023, for the offence under Sections 499, 500 and 501(b) of the Indian Penal Code, 1860.
2. Learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the complaint is filed on 21.12.2023 i.e., after the commencement of Bharatiya Nagarika Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 ('BNSS'). After complaint is filed, the statement of the complainant and his witnesses have been recorded. However, proviso to Section 223 of BNSS is not followed.
3. In addition, it is also urged that there are no materials before the Trial Court to take cognizance of the offences alleged.
HC-KAR
4. The Court is of the view that the violation of the Proviso to Section 323 of BNSS and the conditions relating to lack of materials for taking cognizance can very well be urged before the jurisdictional Sessions Court.
5. Hence, the Criminal Petition is disposed of.
6. Liberty is reserved to the petitioner to file a Revision Petition before the jurisdictional Sessions Court.
7. If such petition is filed, the time spent in prosecuting this matter from 17.06.2026 till date has to be excluded in computing the limitation.
8. It is made clear that all contentions of the parties including the contentions referred to above are kept open to be decided by the jurisdictional Sessions Court.
9. Registry shall return the documents to the petitioner after retaining xerox copies.
