Mr. Gaurav Garg, DAG, Punjab, for the State. **** RANJIT SINGH, J. After investigation, the petitioner was found innocent and shown in Column No.2. He has now been summoned on an application moved under Section 319 Cr.P.C. His grievance is that the departmental inquiry also found him innocent and so was the finding by the investigating agency. On the basis of statement now made before the Court, the petitioner has been summoned as an additional accused. The submission is that the petitioner having performed his duty in the course of official business cannot be tried without obtaining sanction. It would be appropriate for the petitioner to raise all these pleas before the trial Court including the one that he has been exonerated in the departmental inquiry. The present petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to raise all the pleas before the trial Court. November 2, 2011 ( RANJIT SINGH ) monika JUDGE
