Cr. R. No.1629/2009 16.11.2011 I have gone through the order dated 9.9.2009 and the consequent charge which has been framed on the same day by the Third Additional Sessions Judge, Chhatarpur. Charges have been framed under Section 420/467/34 of IPC. The precise allegations are that in collusion with the co- accused Pramod Kumar Dubey, the applicant in his capacity as Chief Medical and Health Officer appointed the co-accused Pramod Kumar Dubey in the District Hospital, Chhatarpur as Medical Officer. The charge further says that the certificate and mark-sheet of Pramod Kumar Dubey was forged. But it does not say that such forgery was known or could have been known to the applicant in the normal course. The charge thereafter says that as a result of the said appointment the said Pramod Kumar Dubey worked as Medical Officer from 1.12.2007 to 10.6.2008. It does not take into account the fact that such appointment was honorary. The further allegation is that as a result of this action, the applicant played fraud upon the Government and documents were forged. No charge of conspiracy has been framed. Neither the charge nor the order says what loss was caused to the Government as a result of the alleged cheating. The charge also does not attribute the forgery of the certificate and mark-sheet of Pramod Kumar Dubey to the applicant. According to the applicant the appointment was an honorary appointment. The condition of appointment of the said co-accused Pramod Kumar Dubey was to serve without any payment. According to the applicant he was not aware of the forgery of the mark-sheet and certificate of Pramod Kumar Dubey. It appears that the charge has been framed almost mechanically, without examining the details and all the precise allegations against the present applicant and the prima facie material available to corroborate the allegations. Considering the overall facts and circumstances of the case, but without expressing any further opinion which may influence the Court below, this revision is allowed. The order dated 9.9.2009 and consequent charge framed against the applicant is quashed. The matter will be reconsidered by the Court below. The revision is allowed as directed above. (Sushil Harkauli) Acting Chief Justice AK
