Holding
The petition is disposed with liberty to the petitioners to raise all points before the trial court.
Summary
The petitioners were charged under Sections 302, 120B/34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 27 of the Arms Act in Saharsa P.S. Case No. 639 of 2017. The learned Sessions Judge had set aside the Chief Judicial Magistrate's order taking cognizance of the offences, prompting the petitioners to file a petition under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code seeking quash of that order. The petitioners argued that they should be allowed to raise all points before the trial court at the appropriate stage. The State, represented by an Additional Public Prosecutor, raised no objection to the petitioners' request. The High Court, after hearing counsel, disposed of the petition by granting the petitioners liberty to raise all matters before the trial court, without interfering with the substantive orders of the lower courts.
Issues considered
- Whether a petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. can be entertained to seek liberty to raise points before the trial court.
- Whether the High Court should quash the Sessions Judge's order setting aside the magistrate's cognizance.
