No.3133 of 2009 (O&M) Date of Decision : 01.03.2011 Sahib Singh ……Petitioner Versus Madhu Bala @ Manu Sharma and others …Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY TEWARI -.- Present: Mr. R.D. Sharma, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Sandeep Arora, Advocate for respondents No.1 and 2. Mr. S.S. Chandumajra, D.A.G., Punjab for respondent No.5. *** 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? AJAY TEWARI, J. (Oral) This petition has been filed against the rejection of the application under Section 216 Cr.P.C. for amending the charge. C.R.R. No.3133 of 2009 (O&M) -2- The allegations are that the private respondents induced the son of the petitioner to pay a huge amount to the respondent No.4 – Ashwani Kumar Sharma who would impart training to the son of the petitioner for getting admission in Merchant Navy. Later on since the whole thing turned out to be a hoax the son of the petitioner committed suicide. After the incident an application was moved and the offence under Section 420 was sought to be included in the charge. The learned trial Court has dismissed the application and the present petition was filed. In my considered opinion, as regards respondents No.1, 2 and 3 no fault can be found with the order of the learned trial Court. However as regards respondent No.4-Ashwani Kumar Sharma the charge under Section 420 IPC is definitely made out as per the brief facts set out above. Consequently, even while dismissing this petition qua respondents No.1 to 3, the same is allowed vis-à-vis respondent No.4- Ashwani Kumar Sharma. ( AJAY TEWARI ) March 01, 2011 JUDGE ashish
