As to whether these evidences are sufficient to sustain the conviction of the respondent-accused or whether he has a plausible defence or explanation is the matter to be considered at the stage of trial. The learned Single Judge ought not to have weighed the merits of the case at the initial stage of issuance of summons to the accused.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court explained that while taking cognizance of an offence based upon a police report, it is the satisfaction of the Magistrate that there is sufficient ground to proceed against the accused and <em>when the satisfaction of the Magistrate was based on the charge sheet and the materials placed before him, the satisfaction cannot be said to be erroneous or perverse and the satisfaction ought not to have been interfered with<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was, hence, held that the High Court committed a serious error in going into the merits and \u00a0demerits of the case and hence, the impugned order was set aside.
