Petitioner was watching the same.

When the accused appeared pursuant to summons, they challenged maintainability of the complaint for want of sanction of Government under S.197 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The Chief Judicial Magistrate, by order dated 24-4-1981 accepted the objection, dropped the proceedings and released all the accused. The revision is by the complainant against that order.
