Impugned order dated 28.01.2013 reads as under:- “Case is fixed for filing correct address of the accused by the complainant.

As such, the present complaint is CRM not M-9144 of 2013 (O&M) -2- dismissed under Section 204 (4) Cr.P.C.file be consigned to the record room after due compliance.”

Thus, the Trial Court had dismissed the complaint on the ground that petitioner was not interested in pursuing the complaint as he had failed to supply the correct address of the respondent.

The Trial Court fell in error, while dismissing the complaint for want of prosecution, as the complainant could have been afforded another opportunity to enable him to supply the correct address of the respondent.

In these circumstances, it would be just and expedient to quash the impugned order and direct the Trial Court to proceed further with the complaint in accordance with law.

Although in the present petition, service of respondent is complete but none has appeared on his behalf.

Respondent is working as Jail Warden in Open Jail, Nabha.

Accordingly, this petition is allowed.

Impugned order dated 28.01.2013 is set aside and Trial Court is directed to proceed further with the complaint in accordance with law.
