Summary The Sessions Court, Dhule partly allowed the criminal revision petition and held that the magistrate's order directing FIR registration against the public servant petitioner was illegal and improper for non-compliance with mandatory procedural requirements under Sections 175(3), 175(4)(a), and 175(4)(b) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. The court stayed further investigation against the petitioner, relying on the principle of parity with similar cases and a High Court precedent involving a co-accused.
