This query is : Resolved
I have filed a revision against the order of the MM, who dismissmed my compalint in default. I have filed the revision before Session Court who suggest me to withdraw the same and filed before high court because of Dhingra's judgement. Ld. Court told me that the Sessions court does not have the power. Kindly provide the details of judgement if any body have or put some light over the issue in question. The reason for the dismissed in default is non appearance only once. This is only due to problem while noting the date into diary

Did the MM ordered notice to you before dismissal for default?

generally MM do not dismiss the case if advocate or party has remained absent only once
Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, S.138 - Dishonour of cheque - Dismissal of complaint in default - Magistrate cannot order restoration of complaint even if complainant shows very good reasons for his failure to be present on the date of dismissal of complaint - The only remedy available to the complainant is to approach High Court u/s 482 Cr.P.C. for setting aside the order of dismissal of complaint.

But what is the judgement of Mr Dhingra?
The order of the Magistrate is always Revisable which could be exercised by either the Sessions Court or the High Court u/s 397 or 40 crpc respectively.

Special acts do not come within the general law so the advice of sessions court is proper.

This is a final order to revision will lie before sessions court. So in the present situation seek an order instead of withdrawal so that it will simplify matter for further revision to HC.

Generally session courts do not ask the party to withdraw and approach high court. Although u/s 482 parties have right to approach the high court under special circumstances and high court does entertain such cases. In your case the matter possibly dismissed by the MM under Section 256, although MMs are supposed to give a notice for first default but then GOD bless them. Approach the HC with bonafide reasons for absence, please understand it is not important that you should be given a chance just because you were absent for a day only, you must have solid reason for the same.
