Revision No. 2156 of 2007 -2- *** to Shamsher Singh, Mohinder Singh, Joginder Singh and Pardeep with deadly weapons. Shamsher Singh suffered head injury and fracture of the left clavicle. The Board of doctors constituted in the P.G.I. declared the injuries as grievous in nature under Clause 8 of Section 320 IPC as dangerous to life. From the aforesaid discussions, it is observed that the trial court was right in framing the charge. Even otherwise, at the stage of framing of the charge, the court is not to delve deep into the merits of the case, but only examine if the accused have prima facie committed an offence for the purpose of trial. Having examined the records of the case, no apparent illegality appears to have been committed by the trial court. Consequently, the instant petition being without any merit is hereby dismissed.
