IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Revision No. 1711 of 2008 (O&M) Date of decision: 11.11.2009 Satwant Kaur and others .. Petitioners v. State of Punjab .. Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: Mr. Ranjan Lakhanpal, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. A. S. Brar, Senior Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. .. Rajesh Bindal J. Challenge in the present petition is to the order dated 5.9.2007, passed by the learned court below, framing charge against the petitioners under Section 302 IPC. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners were not directly related to the murders, even as per the investigation carried out by the investigating agency. At the most, charge against them can be under Section 202 IPC for not informing the police after they came to know about the offence. On the other hand, learned counsel for the State submitted that after framing of the charge, 14 prosecution witnesses have already been recorded out of total 45 witnesses. Fifteen witnesses are formal. Considering the stage of trial and also the fact that even for the charge under Section 202 IPC the petitioners have to face trial, I do not find any reason to interfere with the impugned order. Accordingly, the present petition is dismissed. Since the main petition has been dismissed, application for condonation of delay is also dismissed. (Rajesh Bindal) Judge 11.11.2009 mk
