No. it would see whether the order of Magistrate is bad in law. To gate extra chance you may file revision in sessions court and then quashing in high court.

Sir,
Can we file the revision application for not entertaining the application for discharge or shall we move to high court u/s 482 for issuing directions to the magistrate to entertain the application of discharge and decide the application on its merits??
Because I suppose u/s 482 we can only go for quashing rather than for directions to eneratain application under section 239 CrPC??

You should file the revision petition before Sessions Court.
