Metropolitan Magistrate’s Judgment
AI Assist
Summary
A Metropolitan Magistrate must record specified particulars instead of the fuller judgment format: case serial number, date of the offence, complainant and accused details, the offence, the accused's plea and examination, the final order and its date. If the final order is appealable under the stated provisions, the magistrate must add a brief statement of reasons.
Example
Priya files an FIR at her local police station saying Rohan stole goods from her shop. When the Metropolitan Magistrate decides the case, the magistrate records the case number, offence date, Priya’s and Rohan’s details, the offence proved, Rohan’s plea and examination, the final order with its date, and because the order is appealable, a short statement of reasons.
