Summoning order

A comlaint case has been filed under section 420/208 Ipc and 66/72 IT directly to ACMM court. ACMM has accepted the case prima facie and has issued a summoning order by giving an order that first the List of evidences must be produced within a week and thenafter summon has to be issued. this order was passed on 13.9.2012

Till date list of evidences has not been produced by the complainant. Can this case be asked to quashed based on procedure or technical irregularities as compliance of section 204 (2) has not been fulfilled. 

Regards

Harish

Dear Querist

as per section 204 of Crpc

 

204. Issue of processed.

(1) If in the opinion of a Magistrate taking cognizance of an offence there is sufficient ground for proceeding, and the case appears to be-

(a) A summons-case, he shall issue his summons for the attendance of the accused, or

(b) A warrant-case, he may issue a warrant, or, if he thinks fit, a summons, for causing the accused to be brought or to appear at a certain time before such Magistrate or (if he has no jurisdiction himself) some other Magistrate having jurisdiction.

(2) No summons or warrant shall be issued against the accused under sub-section (1) until a list of the prosecution witnesses has been filed.

(3) In a proceeding instituted upon a complaint made in writing, every summons or warrant issued under sub-section (1) shall be accompanied by a copy of such complaint.

(4) When by any law for the time being in force any process-fees or other fees are payable, no process shall be issued until the fees are paid and, if such fees are not paid within a reasonable time, the Magistrate may dismiss the complaint.

(5) Nothing in this section shall be deemed to affect the provisions of section 87.

 

You have to file a quashing petition before HC under article 226 of Indian Constitution read with section 482 of Cr.PC
