IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Revision No.2888 of 2009 Date of decision : 6.11.2009 Avtar Singh and others ....Petitioners Versus State of Punjab ....Respondents **** CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE S. D. ANAND Present: Mr. O.P.Kamboj, Advocate for the applicant. S. D. ANAND, J. Learned counsel for the petitioners states that the only apprehension of the petitioners is that the learned Trial Court may not proceed to hold a trial afresh in the light of the remand order and further that the disposal of the trial may not get delayed. The petitioners had been convicted by the learned Trial Magistrate for the offences under Sections 420 read with Section 120-B IPC. The learned Additional Sessions Judge ordered a remand of the case for the proper recording of the statement of the petitioners under Section 313 Cr.P.C. The learned Additional Sessions Judge had noticed certain very relevant facts which formed the very foundational premise of the charge and which had not been put to the petitioners in the course of their statement under Section 313 Cr.P.C. The learned Additional Sessions Judge did not order the re-trial of the case. All that the learned Additional Sessions Judge had ordered was that the statement under Section 313Cr.P.C. of the petitioners shall be rerecorded and the matter shall be disposed of afresh thereafter in accordance with law. In that view of things, there is no cause for apprehension in the mind of the petitioners that the learned Trial Court would proceed to hold a fresh trial in toto. Disposed of accordingly.
