Pratap vs State Of U.P on 22 December, 1972
On the above issues, we heard Mr. Nagendra Rai, learned senior
counsel appearing for the appellant, and Mr. A. Ramesh, learned
senior counsel for respondent no.1. Mr. Rai, in his submission,
contended that in the F.I.R. there was a charge noted under Section
417 I.P.C., that ultimately when the charge came to be framed
against respondent no.1, it was confined to Section 376 I.P.C. and,
therefore, in the light of the power vested in the Trial Court
under Section 216 Cr.P.C., the appellant was well justified in
seeking for a prayer for addition of the charge under Section 417
I.P.C. Learned senior counsel for the appellant also contended that
when the Trial Court in its order dated 10.12.2012 having rejected
the said prayer once and for all, the appellant had no other remedy
except to invoke the revisional jurisdiction of the High Court. It
is contended that the conclusion of the High Court in having held
that revision was maintainable was therefore justified. Learned
senior counsel contended that it was at the initiation of the
complainant, the case came to be launched by the prosecution, that
the complaint disclosed the ingredients of the offences under
Sections 417 and 376 I.P.C. and when in the F.I.R., the said
offence under Section 417 I.P.C. was also noted, the appellant was
well justified in seeking for addition of the said charge, more so,
when the required power was available with the Trial Court under
Section 216 Cr.P.C. Reliance was placed upon the decision rendered
in Pratap v. State of U.P. & Others, reported in (1973) 3 SCC 690.

Ram Pukar Thakur And Ors. vs The State Of Bihar on 29 November, 1973
That apart, learned senior counsel further contended that
there was no right in the party before the Trial Court to seek for
any order to be passed under Section 216 Cr.P.C. as a matter of
right either for addition or alteration of the charge and the power
only vests with the Court and, therefore, the invocation of Section
397 Cr.P.C. itself was not available to the appellant to question
the action of the Trial Court. Learned senior counsel, therefore,
contended that the conclusion of the learned Judge in the order
impugned in having held that the revision was maintainable was not
the correct legal position. Learned senior counsel relied upon the
decision in Thakur Ram & Others v. State of Bihar, reported in AIR
1966 SC 911, in support of his submission, and submitted that the
power available under Section 216 Cr.P.C. can be exercised only by
the Court on its own and no party has any right to seek for passing
any orders under the said provision.
