How the power under Section 156 (3) of Cr.P.C. has to be exercised ?

 
Priyanka Srivastava and Another v. State of Uttar Pradesh and Others - (2015) 6 SCC 287
How the power  under Section 156 (3) of Cr.P.C. has to be exercised ?
1) There has to be prior applications under Sections 154(1) and   154(3)   while   filing   a   petition   under Section 156(3). Both the aspects should be clearly   spelt   out   in   the   application   and necessary documents to that effect shall be filed.
2) Section 156(3) CrPC applications are to be supported by an affidavit   duly   sworn   by   the   applicant   who seeks the invocation of the jurisdiction of the Magistrate.   
3) The learned Magistrate would be well advised to verify the truth and also can verify the veracity of the allegations.
4) Endeavour is to see that no false affidavit is made. It is because once an affidavit is found to be false, he will be liable for prosecution in accordance with law. This will   deter   him   to   casually   invoke   the authority   of   the   Magistrate   under   Section 156(3). Applications  u/s.156(3) of CrPC  are   being   filed   in   a   routine manner   without   taking   any   responsibility whatsoever only to harass certain persons.
5) A number of   cases   pertaining   to   fiscal   sphere, matrimonial   dispute/family   disputes, commercial   offences,   medical   negligence
cases, corruption cases and the cases where there is abnormal delay/laches in initiating criminal   prosecution,   as   are   illustrated
in Lalita Kumari [(2014) 2 SCC 1 : (2014) 1 SCC (Cri) 524] are being filed.
6) The learned Magistrate would also be aware of the delay in lodging of the FIR.
