The learned Court need not look into the defence documents or the defence of the accused at this stage. Prima facie evidence is sufficient to frame charges. Moreover, as per the ruling "Nirmaljit Singh Hoon v. State of West Bengal" reported in AIR 1972 SC 2639, the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India had held that, the test is whether there was sufficient ground for proceeding and not whether there is sufficient ground for conviction, and where there was prima facie evidence, even though the person charged of an offence in the complaint might have a defence, the matter had to be left to be decided by the appropriate forum at the appropriate stage.
