The instant Revision Petition was preferred averring that the Trial Court had erroneously discharged 11 accused persons including CM Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia of all the charges and ordered framing of charge only under Sections 186\/332\/353\/323\/34 IPC against two accused persons namely Amanatullah Khan and Prakash Jarwal (hereinafter &#8216;A-1 and A-2&#8217;). It is stated that the impugned order is against the settled principles of law applied at the stage of framing of charge and a perusal of the impugned order revealed that Trial Court had conducted a fishing and roving enquiry into the allegations in the charge-sheet and had drawn erroneous inferences and conclusions without having the benefit of examination of prosecution witnesses and many such inferences and findings were contrary to the record.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court elaborately discussed and gave observations on various grounds but for the sake of brevity, the heads are mentioned which are as follows:<\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Maintainability of the revision petition<\/li>\n<li>Considerations for framing of charge \/ discharge<\/li>\n<li>Veracity of Witness to be tested at trial<\/li>\n<li>Delay in lodging the FIR and the MLC<\/li>\n<li>Bar on taking cognizance in absence of complaint under Section 195 CrPC<\/li>\n<li>Consideration of the statement of VK Jain dated 21-02-2018<\/li>\n<li>Conspiracy\/ Unlawful Assembly\/Common Intention\/ Abetment<\/li>\n<li>Section 342 IPC<\/li>\n<li>Role of Nitin Tyagi<\/li>\n<li>Role of Ajay Dutt (R 10) and Rituraj Govind (R 12)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Analysis and Decision<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court observed that there is no merit in the submission made on behalf of the petitioner that the impugned order is against the settled principles of law applied at the stage of framing of charge or that the Trial Court had conducted a fishing and roving enquiry into the allegations in the charge-sheet and had drawn erroneous inferences and conclusions without having the benefit of examination of prosecution witnesses.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court opined that Trial Court had not committed any error apparent on the face of record or had failed to appreciate the genesis of the entire case including the preceding and subsequent events of the incident and <strong>in fact it is seen that all the factors which have been raised by the petitioner even in the present revision petition as pointing to a criminal conspiracy or unlawful assembly or common intention or abetment have been duly considered in the impugned order by the Trial Court.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Trial Court, in the impugned order, having considered the charge against A-3 to A-13 to be groundless discharged them and had recorded its reasons for doing so. It is also the settled law <strong>that for framing of charge detailed reasons are not required to be given but when the accused is to be discharged; it is incumbent on the Court to record its reasons for the same.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was stated that at the stage of consideration of charge, the defence of the accused persons is not to be looked at and it is not for the accused persons to rebut the case of the prosecution at that stage except on the basis of the material produced by the prosecution, as they cannot bring forth any evidence at that stage and only the material put forth by the prosecution has to be considered. <strong>It is the settled law that at the stage of framing of charge, the court is only to see if there is strong suspicion that the accused had committed an offence and not whether the material on record would lead to conviction or not.<\/strong> <strong>At the stage of framing of charge, the Court is required to evaluate the material and documents only to the extent and with a view to finding out if the facts taken on their face value disclosed the existence of a prima facie case<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court concluded that in the present case, the Trial Court had duly applied the yardsticks and the parameters laid down by the Supreme Court in <em>Union of India<\/em> v. <em>Prafulla Kumar Samal<\/em><strong>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/0OK2P93y\">(1979) 3 SCC 4\u00a0<\/a><\/strong> and other judgments to be considered at the stage of framing of charge and thereafter passed the impugned order.
