Additional Sessions Judge No.1, Chittorgarh (hereinafter to be referred as 'the trial court’) in Sessions Case No.104/2011, whereby the trial court has ordered for framing of charges against the petitioners for the offences punishable under Sections 364-A and 120-B IPC.

¶24

Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner-Anil Negi has submitted that there is no iota of evidence available against the petitioners to frame charges for the aforesaid offences. It is also submitted that the trial court has not appreciated the material collected by the police during the course of investigation and ordered for framing of charges against the petitioners in mechanical manner. Learned counsel for the petitioner-Anil Negi has, therefore, submitted that the impugned order is illegal and liable to be set aside.
