State Of Bihar vs Ramesh Singh on 2 August, 1977
As stated by the Supreme Court
in Ramesh Singh's case, the court has not to examine,
at this stage, whether the case will end in conviction or
not. We have not conducted a roving enquiry which is
prohibited by law. But, in the light of Muniswamy's
case, we have considered whether material on record, if
unrebutted, is such on the basis of which a conviction can
be reasonably be possible. We are of the prima facie,
opinion that statements of Mr. `X' and Mr. `Y' lead to such
a conclusion. At the cost of repetition, we must state that
the appellant's intimacy with the son of Guru Satam, his

phoning the son and relative of Guru Satam for settling
the amount of extortion, his being present when
settlement talks were going on, his being present when
money was to be handed over and his accepting the
money and handing it over to Guru Satam's son and the
fact that Mr. `X' stopped receiving threats from that date,
are sufficient to prima facie indicate the appellant's
complicity. This is certainly not a case for discharge. It is
not disputed before us that the fact that the appellant was
released on bail has no relevance to the question whether
he could be discharged or not because considerations for
bail and considerations for discharge differ. In our
opinion, learned Special Judge has rightly rejected the
appellant's discharge application. The impugned order
merits no interference.

State Of Maharashtra vs Priya Sharan Maharaj & Ors on 11 March, 1997
In State of Maharashtra v. Priya Sharan
Maharaj & Ors. AIR 1997 SC 2041, the Supreme Court
again reiterated that at the stage of framing of the
charge, the court has to consider the material with a view
to finding out if there is ground for presuming that the
accused has committed the offence or that there is not
sufficient ground for proceeding against him and not for
the purpose of arriving at the conclusion that it is not

Supdt. & Remembrancer Of Legal Affairs ... vs Anil Kumar Bhunja & Ors on 23 August, 1979
In Superintendent & Remembrancer of Legal
Affairs, West Bengal v. Anil Bhunja & Ors. AIR
1980 SC 52, the Supreme Court observed that the
standard test, proof and judgment which is to be applied
finally before finding the accused guilty or otherwise is not
exactly to be applied at the stage of Section 227 or
Section 228. At this stage, even a very strong suspicion
founded upon materials before the Magistrate, which
leads him to form a presumptive opinion as to the
existence of the factual ingredients constituting the
offence alleged, may justify the framing of charges
against the accused in respect of the commission of that
offence.
State Of Maharashtra Etc. Etc vs Som Nath Thapa, Etc. Etc on 12 April, 1996
In State of Maharashtra & Ors. v. Som Nath
Thapa & Ors. (1996) 4 SCC 659, the Supreme Court
observed that if there is a ground for presuming that the
accused has committed the offence, it can be said that a
prima facie case has been made out against the accused.
