IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Revn. No. 435 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision:- 26.05.2011 Satpal Malik ...Petitioner Versus State of Haryana ...Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MS. JUSTICE RITU BAHRI Present:- None for the petitioner Mr. Kshitij Sharma, A.A.G, Haryana RITU BAHRI J.(Oral) Challenge in this petition is to the order dated 11.02.2006 (Annexure P1) passed by the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Hisar whereby the petitioner has been charge-sheeted for more than three offences. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the mandatory provisions of Section 219 Cr.P.C state that no joint charge can be framed for more than three offences committed in one single year of the same offences and any charge beyond the number of three is vitiated. This contention of learned counsel for the petitioner has no force and it deserves to be dismissed on the very short ground that this petition has been filed after about 5 years and the petitioner was charge sheeted vide order dated 11.02.2006 whereas the present petition has been filed on 17.02.2011. As far as Section 219 Cr.P.C is concerned, the object of this Section is to avoid multiplicity of litigation and to enable the accused to face the litigation in one trial so that he can defend himself without chasing three different trials. At this stage, an attempt is being made to delay the proceedings in trial. In view of the above, the present petition is dismissed. May 26, 2011 ( RITU BAHRI ) G.Arora JUDGE
