State Of Haryana And Ors vs Ch. Bhajan Lal And Ors on 21 November, 1990
7. On consideration of the rival submission, this Court is not satisfied as
the order passed by the learned Principal District Judge, Special Court for the
trial of cases under SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocity), is found mechanical. He
had not applied mind to understand the gravity of the issues involved. The
charges were framed for the offences under Sections 3(1)(r), 3(1)(s), 3(1)(w)(i),

offences compared to offence under Section 376 IPC. Without understanding
the gravity of the situation, the learned Principal District Judge, Special Court
for the trial of cases under SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocity) had mechanically, as
though he is presiding as a Civil Judge and petition are filed across the table by
the learned counsel for the disputing parties in Civil Court, passed an order
which had created this problem whereby valuable defence of the accused
guaranteed under the Constitution of India had been ignored by the learned
Principal District Judge, which cannot be condoned. Therefore, the same is set
aside as per the reported ruling of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in State of
Haryana Vs Bhajan Lal being reported in 1992 AIR 604, where there are
guidelines issued to the High Court exercising its extraordinary powers for
abuse of the process of Court and also for safeguarding the rights of litigants.
The action of the learned counsel for the defence who is expected to protect the
right of the Accused as per the right guaranteed under the Constitution of India
and also the learned Sessions Judge presiding from the present Court is found
unacceptable and unreasonable.
