JUDGMENT

Dipak Misra, J. - The question of maintainability of an application under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (in short, 'the Code'), after disposal of the revision at the level of the Sessions Judge has arisen again like a mythical phoenix and that being the preliminary objection by Sri Debasis Panda, learned counsel for opposite party No.1, it was to be dealt with before the petitioner is allowed to cross the threshold to advance his contentions in regard to the merits of the case.

2. The preliminary objection of Sri Panda is that challenging the order dated 26-7-1994 passed by the learned Judicial Magistrate, First Class, Bhadrak, in I.C.C. Case No. 60 of 1993 whereby he refused to entertain the application filed under Section 219 of the Code, the accused persons had preferred Criminal Revision No. 40 of 1994 before the Additional Sessions Judge, Bhadrak, and having lost in the said revision, they are debarred to invoke the inherent jurisdiction of this Court as the application at their instance is not maintainable. In support of his submission, he has placed reliance on the decisions of the Apex Court in Dharampal and others. v. Smt. Ramshri and others1
