At the same time, where the complainant showed bona fide absence, service had not yet been effected, and strict insistence on the normal remedy would cause undue hardship, the High Court could invoke inherent power under Section 482 CrPC to restore the complaint on costs. The matter was thus revived for decision on merits. en-us Mon, 18 Mar 2019 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 08 Mar 2022 08:58:25 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=301014 Dismissal of a summons complaint for the complainant's non-appearance operates as an acquittal under Section 256 CrPC, so the proper remedy is an appeal under Section 378(4) CrPC and not a revision before the Sessions Court; the revisional order was therefore beyond jurisdiction.
