supra) in paragraph 16 of the judgment, the Court held that it
was not permissible for the Judicial Magistrate to take into
consideration the evidence of defence produced by the appellant
as it has consistently been held by this Court that at the time of
framing the charge, the only documents which are required to be
considered are the documents submitted by the investigating
agency along with the charge sheet. Any document which the
accused wants to rely upon cannot be read as evidence. If such
evidence is to be considered, there would be a mini-trial at the
stage of framing of charge. That would defeat the very object of
the code. Even for hearing submission of accused as per Section
227 means hearing the submissions of the accused on the record
of the case as filed by the prosecution and documents submitted
therewith and nothing more. Even if, in a rare case it is
permissible to consider the defence evidence, if such material
convincingly establishes that the whole prosecution version is
totally absurd, preposterous or concocted.
