BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.P.M. NAZAR THIS CRIMINAL REVISION PETITION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 27/06/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Crl.R.P. No. 3099 of 2007 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Dated: 27-06-2008 ORDER Petitioner who is the accused in C.C. No. 191 of 2005 on the file of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Kollam for offences punishable under Sections 427 and 447 I.P.C and under Sec. 3 (1) of the Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act, challenges the order dated 5-7-2007 dismissing the application filed by him for discharge. 2. The learned Chief Judicial Magistrate after perusing the prosecution records, has come to the conclusion that there is a prima facie case to proceed against the accused. The requisite satisfaction has been arrived at after a careful evaluation of the materials for the prosecution. Under these circumstances, this Court sitting in revision will be loathe to interfere with the said finding merely because there is a civil dispute also in respect of the same cause of action. The proper course now open to the petitioner is to stand trial. I am not inclined to hold up the trial any longer. This Revision is dismissed without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to raise all his contentions during the trial of the case. V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE) ani.
