Though the revision is directed against the order framing charge as well as declining the prayer of the petitioner for discharge under Section 245 Cr.P.C. but it will CRIMINAL REVISION NO.831 OF 2011 :{ 2 }: not be appropriate at this stage to interfere as recording of evidence has already commenced. The grievance of the petitioner that the raiding party was not headed by the competent person can very well be raised before the Trial Court. As per counsel for the petitioner, the Junior Engineer, who was heading the raiding party, had already conceded this fact while giving his evidence before the Court. In addition, the counsel has also prayed that after this raid, penalty of sum of `51,400/- was imposed on him, which was quashed by the Consumer Forum not only on the basis of technicalities but on merits as well. The petitioner would have to plead all these aspects before the trial Court, which shall keep this evidence in mind while considering the liability of the petitioner for the offence alleged against him. The petitioner then says that he would not press this petition and would pray for grant of liberty to raise all these pleas before the trial Court. Both the petitions are, thus, dismissed as not pressed with liberty as prayed for. December 20, 2011 ( RANJIT SINGH ) khurmi JUDGE
