20. The State v. Rasool, AIR 1955 All 620, was a case in which a number of persons were tried together. They were originally charged under Section 411, Indian Penal Code. When the case became ripe for decision, it was found that the charge against six of them should have been under Section 414, Indian Penal Code. The trial Judge held one of the accused persons guilty under Section 411, three of them under Section 414 and acquitted the remaining three. He purported to act under Sections 236 and 237, Criminal Procedure Code. The Sessions Judge on appeal acquitted three more persons. The State filed an appeal against the order of acquittal to the High Court and the High Court held that the provisions of Sections 236 and 237 did not apply. The learned Judges declined to convict Rasool on the ground that he could not be charged under Section 411, Indian Penal Code, and convicted under Section 414, Indian Penal Code.
