ORDER
Date : 30-10-2019 Heard Mr. BM Choudhury, learned counsel for the petitioners and Mr. BB Gogoi, learned Addl. P.P. 3 petitioners are facing the trial pertaining to G.R. Case No. 4421/2008 while the case was at the stage of judgment, learned trial court vide its order dated 16.08.2019 formed an opinion that there is prima facie material against the accused-petitioners under Section 304 IPC instead of Section 304-A IPC.
Now the learned counsel for the petitioners has contended that at the initial stage while the case was charge-sheeted under Section 304 IPC, the learned Assistant Sessions Judge, Cachar, Silchar framed charge under Section 304-A IPC and remitted the case to the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate for trial but again at the conclusion of hearing, the learned trial court has formed an opinion as mentioned above, which is stated to be bad in law, there being no such evidence on record holding such an opinion.
I have gone through the documents annexed and considered the submission of learned counsel for both sides.
Let a Notice be issued upon the respondent No.2 by registered post and usual process. Returnable by 3 weeks.
Extra copy be furnished to the learned Addl. P.P. representing the respondent No.1. Call for the scan copy of LCR pertaining to G.R. Case No.4421/2008 from the court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Cachar, Silchar along with Case Diary of Silchar PS Case No. 2374/2008.
