1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Revision. No. 1992-M of 2008 (O&M). Date of Decision: 5.8.2009 *** Manjit Kaur .. Petitioner Vs. State of Punjab .. Respondent. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ARVIND KUMAR, Present:- Mr. A.S. Kalra, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. B.S. Sra, Addl. A.G. Punjab Mr. K.S. Kahlon, Advocate for the complainant. *** ARVIND KUMAR, J. The instant revision petition has been preferred against the order and charge sheet dated 25.3.2008/26.3.2008 vide which the petitioner and others have been charge-sheeted under Sections 406, 498-A IPC in case FIR No.37 dated 16.3.2007, under Sections 406 IPC, Police Station B Division Amritsar. The order has been impugned on various grounds including that no offence, as alleged, under Sections 406, 498-A IPC is made out against the petitioner; that the petitioner is the maternal aunt of the husband of the complainant and since she was mediator in the said marriage, therefore, she has been roped in this case whereas she has nothing to do with the married life of the couple. That apart, it has been contended by learned counsel for the petitioner that much has been argued before the learned trial during the course of arguments on the point of framing of charge in respect of the petitioner, but none of the contentions have been discussed. The impugned order, as annexed with the petition, reads as under:- 2 “Charge against the accused u/S 406, 498-A IPC has been framed. Accused pleaded not guilty and claimed trial. Now prosecution evidence be summoned for 19.5.08.” A bare perusal of the impugned order shows that there is no discussion with regard to what has been argued on behalf of the present petitioner. The order is a non-speaking one and cannot be sustained. Accordingly, the impugned order as also the charge-sheet, to the extent of petitioner, are set aside. It is directed that the learned trial court shall pass orders on charge afresh, qua the petitioner, after hearing the parties, on merits and without being influenced from any observation made hereinabove. The parties to appear before the learned trial court on 31.8.2009. Petition stands disposed of accordingly. (ARVIND KUMAR) JUDGE August 5,2009 Jiten
