State Of Bihar vs Ramesh Singh on 2 August, 1977
From the above exposition of law what has been laid down is that at the stage of discharge / framing of charge, trial Judge has to apply his judicial mind only for limited purpose to see whether there is sufficient ground for proceeding or not? At that stage, he is not to weigh and sift the evidences critically to find out truth or otherwise of the prosecution case but at that same time he is not to act as post office and be a mouth piece of prosecution version. Further if there is only a suspicion and not grave suspicion then charge should not be framed against the accused. It is only in cases where there is grave suspicion against the accused of his being involved in the crime that the accused should be charged with the offence disclosed against him. This view expressed in the decision of State of Bihar Vs. Ramesh Singh: AIR 1977 SC 2018 has been approved in the decision of P.Vijayan(Supra).
