State Of Bihar vs Ramesh Singh on 2 August, 1977

11) From a perusal of the afore-quoted ratio laid down by the Supreme Court, it is clear that at the time of framing of charge even a strong suspicion against an accused would justify framing of charge. The Court at this stage is not required to see whether the accused can be finally held guilty of the offence but it has to see whether there exist sufficient grounds for proceeding against the accused. The Court has to see whether, on the basis of material on record, ingredients constituting the alleged offences are, prima facie, made out. For this limited purpose, sifting of evidence is permissible but probative value of the material brought on record by the prosecution cannot be gone into at this stage. Though in the instant case the procedure prescribed for trial of warrant cases has to be followed by the Special Judge, yet for the purpose of framing of charge in terms of Section 251-A(3) of J&K Cr. P. C (corresponding to Section 240 of Central Code) or in terms of Section 269 of the J&K Cr. P. C MOHAMMAD ALTAF BHAT 2021.09.29 10:14 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document 13 CRMC No.24/2017 (corresponding to Section 228 of Central Code), the considerations are similar. Thus, ratio laid down in afore-quoted judgment of Supreme Court is fully applicable to the instant case.
