The trial court passed commital order against accused u/s 174A of IPC . is this order is void or not ? maintainable or not ?

The offence u/s174A IPC consists of two parts. One for three years and another for seven years. So if it is tried by CJM then it has power to try the offence and hence no question of commitment. But the Magistrate other than CJM can not try second part of Sec.174A IPC which speaks of seven years of punishment and then the order of commitment is right.
