JUDGEMENT
-
(1.) HEARD learned counsel for the parties.
(2.) THE order passed under Section 319 Cr.P.C. summoning the petitioners is under challenge.
Learned counsel for the petitioners argues that the names of the petitioners neither find place in the F.I.R nor their names were stated by the prosecutrix in her statement given under Section 161 Cr.P.C.; that the police submitted charge-sheet only against the co-accused Puttan, who was named in the F.I.R. He submits that the charge-sheet was submitted after the statement of the prosecutrix under Section 164 Cr.P.C. was recorded. Yet the I.O. did not submit any charge-sheet against the petitioners.
(3.) SUB -section (1) Section 319 Cr.P.C. provides as under:-
"319. Power to proceed against other persons appearing to be guilty of offence.- (1) Where, in the course of any inquiry into, or trial of, an offence, it appears from the evidence that any person not being the accused has committed any offence for which such person could be tried together with the accused, the Court may proceed against such person for the offence which he appears to have committed." ;
