JUDGMENT 1. This is an appeal by the Local Government against an order of the Deputy Magistrate of Pubna, dated the 3rd November last, acquitting Arjun Pramanick and Nirgun Pramanick. The Deputy Magistrate without considering the case on its merits acquitted the accused on the ground that there was no sanction as required by law. In the first place we may observe that the charges under secs. 352 and 353 are not such as require any sanction and as regards the charge under sec. 183 it is clear in the proceedings of the Munsif who initiated the prosecution that he was expressly acting under sec. 476 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, Therefore it was incumbent upon the Deputy Magistrate under cl. (2) of that section to proceed with the case according to law as if upon a complaint made and recorded under sec. 200. 2. We accordingly set aside the order of acquittal in question and send the case back to the Deputy Magistrate to be disposed of upon the merits.
