1. This is a rule calling upon the Magistrate of the District to show cause why the order, under sec. 106 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in this

case, should not be set aside on the ground that the conviction was not for an offence referred to or contemplated in that section. No one appears

to show cause, but the learned District Magistrate has submitted a written explanation in which he refers to the case of Queen v. Jhapoo and others

20 W. R. Cr. 37 (1873), in support of the order under sec. 106 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, That case has been considered in later cases,

and the weight of authority in this Court is clearly in favour of the view that a conviction under sec. 143 or 379 of the Indian Penal Code is not of

itself sufficient to sustain an order under sec. 106 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, although such conviction coupled with findings bringing the

case within the scope of sec. 106 may sustain an order under that section ; but in such a case those findings must be clear and explicit ; and,

moreover, if the finding be that the accused was guilty of the offence of criminal intimidation, there, as the section expressly requires, the conviction

must also be for the offence of criminal intimidation in order to sustain an order under sec. 106. In the present case those requirements have not

been satisfied. The view we take is in accordance with that taken by this Court in the cases of In the matter of Ram Charan Maitie 1 C. W. N. 186

(1896), Jib Lal Gir v. Jagmohan Gir I. L. R. 23 Cal. 576 (1899), and Sheobhajan Singh v. S. A. Mosawi I. L. R. 27 Cal. 983 (1900). The order

complained of must therefore be set aside.
