REVN. PETITIONER: PETITIONER/ACCUSED ------------------------------------ RAVINDRAN, S/O.NARAYANA MENON, CHANDROTHIL HOUSE, VEDIMARA, PARAVUR. BY ADV. SRI.T.H.ABDUL AZEEZ RESPONDENTS: RESPONDENT/COMPLAINANT ----------------------------------- STATE OF KERALA REPRESENTED BY THE PUBLIC PROSECUTOR, HIGH COURT OF KERALA, ERNAKULAM. BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI. P. RAVEENDRA BABU THIS CRIMINAL REVISION PETITION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 30/05/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Crl.R.P. No. 1709 of 2008 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Dated: 30-05-2008 ORDER Petitioner who is the accused in C.C. No. 534 of 2003 on the file of the J.F.C.M., North Paravur challenges the order dated 5-5-2008 passed by the Magistrate dismissing his application filed as Crl.M.P. No. 838 of 2008 seeking his discharge. The learned Magistrate dismissed the application holding that the charge had already been framed. It is not disputed that application for discharge was filed after the charge was framed. If so, the learned Magistrate cannot be faulted in holding that the discharge petition is not maintainable. It may true that in C.C. 533 of 2003 the case against the petitioner was quashed by this Court. But then, the order impugned in this Revision is the order dated 5-5-2008 in C.C. 534 of 2003 wherein the only question relevant for consideration was whether the petitioner could be discharged after the charge had been framed. I do not find any good ground to interfere with the conclusion reached by the learned Magistrate. Petitioner will have to face trial in C.C. 534 of 2003 which shall be expedited by the Magistrate. With the above observation, this Crl.R.P. is disposed of. V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE) ani.
