In the High Court for the States of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh … Crl. Revision No. 3218 of 2009 Date of decision: February 22, 2011 Dilbagh Rai etc. ..Petitioners. Versus State of Punjab and another ..Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice AJAY TEWARI Present: Mr. Pardeep Rajput, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. U.S.Dhaliwal, Addl.A.G.Punjab for the respondent No.1. ... AJAY TEWARI , J.(Oral) This petition has been filed against the order dated 12.10.2009 passed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Tarn Taran (Fast Track Court) (Ad hoc), whereby at the time of consideration of charge, an application for discharge on the basis of further inquiry was considered. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that an application for discharge has been dismissed . I find that this is not correct position, but the court has held as follows:- “The proposition of law is well settled that the court can discharge the accused at any stage even after framing the charge, so no prejudice will be caused to the accused, it at this stage, the application of the prosecution for discharging the accused is not accepted in toto at this stage. Rather by way of cross examination of the said witnesses, this court will be able to know about the truth and if the court will find that it is really a case where the said accused deserve to be discharged, the appropriate order shall be passed.” In this view of the matter, no error is found in the order. As such,petition is dismissed. February 22,2011 (AJAY TEWARI) nk JUDGE
