JUDGEMENT
M.A.A.KHAN, J. -
(1.) HEARD .
(2.) VIDE his impugned order the learned Magistrate has dismissed complainant's application u/s 319 Cr. P.C. and thus declined to summon
one Ram Avtar as co -accused in the present case. The learned Magistrate
has observed that the charge -sheet in the present case was filed on 18 -12
1990 and it was after a lapse of about 5 years that the complainant chose to move the present application u/s 319 Cr. P.C. after getting himself
examined as PW -1. The learned Magistrate further observed that the
statement of Bhawani Singh complainant, as recorded at the time of trial,
does not incriminate Ram Avtar so as to summon him as co -accused in the
case. I have looked into the file of the learned Magistrate. Bhawani
Singh and Kan Singh, the alleged two persons who allegedly sustained
injuries in the present case were caused abrasion and bruise on their
persons. The police had submitted a negative report against Ram Avtar and
the complainant could have objected to such report at the first
opportunity available to him. Moreover as stated by the learned
Magistrate the statement of Bhawani Singh did not disclose sufficient
evidence justifying the summoning of Ram Avtar as co -accused in the case.
In my opinion in the facts and circumstances of the case the learned Magistrate has exercised the jurisdiction vested in him quite
judicially and judiciously. The impugned Order does not suffer from any
infirmity or invalidity. Therefore, this petition is dismissed. Delay
caused in the trial of the case is attributed to the prosecution.
Revision dismissed.;
