PUBLIC PROSECUTOR The Court made the following: 2 ORDER: The Criminal Revision Case has been filed under Sections 438 & 442 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (for brevity, ‘the BNSS’) challenging the interlocutory order dated 20.05.2026 in Crl.M.P.No.918 of 2025 in C.C.No.607 of 2023 passed by the learned VIII Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Gannavaram. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the Petitioners and the learned Assistant Public Prosecutor. Perused the record.

3. The order impugned is dated 20.05.2026 in Crl.M.P.No.918 of 2025 in C.C.No.607 of 2023 passed by the learned VIII Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Gannavaram, whereby an application filed under Sections 242 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (for brevity, ‘the Cr.P.C’) seeking to receive documents and mark them on behalf of the Prosecution was allowed subject to proof and relevancy. Aggrieved by that order, the Petitioners/Accused Nos.1 & 2 have preferred the Revision Case. 4. Indeed, a revision against interlocutory order is not maintainable as per Section 397(2) of ‘the Cr.P.C.’ The order impugned is undoubtedly an interim order, as it merely allowed an application filed for receiving certain documents on behalf of the Petitioner/Accused. 3 5. The Hon’ble Apex Court in Sethuraman v. Rajamanickam1, Bhaskar Industries Ltd. v. Bhiwani Denim & Apparels Ltd.2, Girish Kumar Suneja v. CBI3, Amar Nath v. State of Haryana4, the Hon’ble Apex Court held that receiving of documents, summoning of the witnesses are all interlocutory in nature and against which no revision case is maintainable. 6. In view of the law laid down by the Hon’ble Apex Court in Sethuraman, Bhaskar Industries Ltd., Girish Kumar Suneja, Amar Nath supra the Criminal Revision case is not maintainable.

7. Hence, the Criminal Revision Case is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. Liberty is granted to the Petitioner to challenge the impugned order in appropriate proceedings, in accordance with law. As a sequel, interlocutory applications, if any pending, shall stand closed. _________________________ Dr. Y.
