Crpc 397

In absence of a specific order as to stay of proceedings in the lower court, the mere admission of the revision wont result in a stay. You have to continue appearing before the court or move exemptions from appearance.

Thanks for prompt reply sir.  This means NBW might be issued against me? What should be my course of action to avoid NBW now? 

It appears the case before the District Judge has not been admitted till date and I think the next date is fixed for hearing in this situation the records of the lower court will not be transmitted because the records has not been call for. In this situation in absence of any order the case at the lower court will also proceed. You lawyer might have suggested you in the anticipation that in the next date some order in favour may likely be passed by the district judge. In one way your lawyer's suggestion is not bad, you can avoid the lower court   for one of two date but in this way you cannot avoid the lower court for long. If in the meantime some favourable order comes from the district judge then that is different. In the present position you canot avoid the lower court for more than one mostly two dates.

Maybe, the lower court records are called for by the court of revision and hence the proceedings in the trial court is hindered to proced further. Hence your advocate might have told you not to appear before the trial court.

my dear the revision filed by you u/s 397 crpc will fail as the summoning order is interlocatory order. so you should present your self at trial court.

this is a complaint case and jmic, after enquiry, summoned you.

Pathak sir,

Summoning of acused is not an interlocutory order and hence evision always lies. 

mr rao 

what is the test for interlocatory order ?

if the order passed by judge finally ends all the proceedings then it is not an interlocatory order. in this case judge has taken cognizance on complaint and just calling the respondent to hear the other party. not closing the case. so it is not a final order.

summoning order can be recalled by the same but can not be reviewed.

it may be queshed u/s 482 by HC

kindly see sec 397(2) reproduced below
