Answer

Section 355 of the Code of Criminal Procedure lays down the contents of a Metropolitan Magistrate’s Judgment. The provision runs down as below:

“Instead of recording a judgment in the manner hereinbefore provided, a Metropolitan Magistrate shall record the following particulars, namely:

1. the serial number of the case;
2. the date of the commission of the offence;
3. the name of the complainant (if any);
4. the name of the accused person, and his parentage and residence;
5. the offence complained of or proved;
6. the plea of the accused and his examination (if any);
7. the final order;
8. the date of such order;

in all cases in which an appeal lies from the final order either under section 373 or under Sub-Section (3) of section 374, a brief statement of the reasons for the decision.”

This section specifies that the Metropolitan Magistrate does not need to write a detailed decision as required by Section 354 of the Code, but simply needs to record the specifics given out in this Section. Clause I, on the other hand, requires the Metropolitan Magistrate to provide a concise description of the grounds for their judgment in all situations where an appeal is pending.
