N. P. Singh, J.

1. The petitioners have invoked the jurisdiction of this court under Article 227 of the Constitution, for quashing the order passed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Arrah, dismissing the criminal revision application filed on behalf of the petitioners. That revision application had been filed on behalf of the petitioners under section 397 (1) of the Code of criminal Procedure, 1973 (hereinafter referred to as the Code), for setting aside an order passed by the Sub-divisional magistrate, converting a proceeding under Sec.144 of the Code into one under section 145 of the Code.

2. It appears that the petitioners first filed a criminal miscellaneous application under Sec.482 of the Code which was listed for admission before a learned Judge of this Court. The learned judge was of the opinion that as the petitioners had already filed a criminal revision application before the Sessions Judge, it was not open to them to invoke the inherent power of this Court under Sec.482 of the Code for quashing of the order passed by the Sub-divisional Magistrate aforesaid, in view of Sec.397 (3) of the code which bars second revision application before this Court.
