Arun Sanghai And Ors. vs State Of Maharashtra And Ors. on 16 January, 1985

10. Reference in this connection may be made to a judgment of Bombay High Court in the case of Arun and Ors. vs. State of Maharashtra, reported in 1978 Cr. L. J. 1168 wherein it was held that even a small order on the ordersheet or an order merely indicating that the trial has to proceed even inclusive of an order in every clear 8 case would be sufficient compliance of the provision of Section 232 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. In other words, if the Court upon completion of the evidence of prosecution is satisfied that there are sufficient evidence against the accused persons, it is not required to offer the defence an opportunity to avail the opportunity of Section 232 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. True it is that immediately on completion of the evidence of prosecution the accused can demand an opportunity of being heard in terms of Section 232 of the Code of Criminal Procedure but if that is not done at the appropriate stage and the accused themselves enter into their defence, proceed to lead evidence in their defence, they cannot be subsequently allowed to avail the opportunity of hearing in terms of Section 232 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
