The discharge application was dismissed and the charges were framed vide impugned order dated 06.04.2009 passed by the Additional Sessions Judge, Amritsar. Thereafter, even the revision filed against the said order was dismissed. Challan was filed against total 20 persons involved in the said FIR. Out of 20 accused, 17 accused challenged the order framing the CRM No. M 32869 of 2009 2 charges against them before this Court vide Criminal Revision No. 1679 of 2009 (P3). The same was partly allowed and the charges to the extent of offence under Sections 124-A and 153-B were set aside and the petitioners in that revision were discharged of the said offence. In the present case, the petitioners are on better footings than the petitioners in the aforesaid criminal revision petition as no role has been attributed to them. They have not even raised any salogans. Even otherwise, their case is squarely covered by the order dated 20.10.2009 in CRR No. 1679 of 2009 referred above. Thus, the instant case is squarely covered by the said judgment. Consequently, the present petition is partly allowed and the impugned order dated 06.04.2009 passed by the Additional Sessions Judge, Amritsar and the charge sheet to the extent of offence under Sections 124-A and 153-B are set aside and the petitioners are discharged of the said offence and the proceedings against the petitioners for the remaining offences shall continue in the Court of competent jurisdiction.
