Judgment & Decree

Today only bail application is fixed for hearing. However, both the learned counsel for the applicant and the State agree that instead of deciding the bail application the main application for quashment may be heard and decided. The admitted position in the case is that a complaint under section 110, Cr. P. C. was lodged by the S. H. O. Cantonment Police Station Hyderabad, before the S. D. M., Hyderabad. The accused was produced before the S. D. M. after having been arrested under section 55, Cr. P. C., but on production neither the Magistrate passed ally order under section 112, Cr. P. C. nor any order was passed under section 117(3), Cr. P. C. as required by law. In these circumstances the whole proceedings were vitiated and the accused could not be remanded to the Police custody in the absence of an order from the Court under section 117(3), Cr. P. C. The learned A. A. G. supports the application. I accordingly quash the proceedings against the applicant and further direct that he be released forthwith if not required in any other case. M. Y. H. Proceedings quashed.
