1. Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the record.

2. Notice to respondent no. 2 is dispensed with.

3. By this application, the applicant has sought quashing the impugned summoning order dated 21.12.2019 passed by the learned Sessions Judge Sitapur in Sessions Trial No. 9 of 2016 arising out of case crime No. 162/2015, under Section 307/34 and 323/34 I.P.C., Police Station Hergaon, District Sitapur pending before the learned Sessions Judge Sitapur pending before the Learned Court of Sessions Judge, Sitapur.

4. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that while passing the impugned summoning order under Section 319 Cr.P.C., the learned trial court has failed to consider the statements of the prosecution witnesses and no reasons have been recorded.

5. Brief facts of the case are that on the basis of the written report given by opposite party no. 2 on 14.08.2015 case crime No. 162/2015, under Section 307/34 and 323/34 I.P.C. was registered at Police Station Hergaon, District Shravasti. The injured was examined on the same day i.e. 14.08.2015 and total six injuries were found on his person.

6. The charge sheet was submitted against two persons namely Dileep Kumar and Vijay Kumar and after taking cognizance, the case was committed to the Court of Sessions and charges were framed against the aforesaid two accused-persons.

7. The statement of PW-1 was recorded on 04.03.2016, PW-2 on 16.08.2017 and statement of PW-3 Dr. Piyush Kumar Goyal was recorded on 25.08.017. PW-1 while deposing before the Court has alleged the complicity of the applicant assigning him the role of making assault with danda upon the PW-1. PW-2 and has proved the first information report i.e. exhibit K-2. PW-3 has also supported the prosecution story and while giving statement he has stated in his examination-in-chief that the injures caused to the injured could have come through danda and fire arms. In the cross he has again reiterated that injury nos. 2 to 6 can come through a blunt object.

8. Based on these statements of the prosecution witnesses, learned trial Court after considering the statement of the prosecution witnesses and also considering the material on record has summoned the applicant along with co-accused Cheta.

9. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the prosecution witness PW-1 has assigned the mechanical role to the applicant having caused injury by danda to the injured. It is further submitted that from the statement of PW-3 i.e. Dr. Piysh Kumar Goyal, it is apparent that the injured Prem Prakash has received no injury by danda and thus, it is submitted case laws have been laid down by the catena of judgments of the Hon'ble Supreme Court that there should be something more than the prima facie case for invoking jurisdiction under Section 319 Cr.P.C. which is not present in the present case. The impugned order has been passed in a mechanical manner and the manifest error of law has been committed.

10. It is further submitted that learned trial court has not recorded its satisfaction while passing the impugned order.

11. Learned A.G.A. has opposed the contention of learned counsel for the applicant.

12. I have perused the impugned summoning order. The relevant part of the order reads as under:-

13. On due consideration of the arguments of learned counsel for the applicant as well as learned A.G.A., this Court has noticed that witness PW-1 has clearly assigned the role of causing injury by use of danda as a result of that the injured fell down, PW-2 has proved the first information report and the Doctor PW-3 in his examination-in-chief has stated that injuries no. 1 has come through fire arm and other injuries can come through danda and in the cross-examination he has again reiterated that these injuries can come through a blunt object, although in the cross-examination he has stated that the injury no. 2 to 6 could not have come from one blow of danda and these injuries could not have come by falling from the motorcycle.

14. After consider the statement of PW-1 and PW-3, I am of the view that the statement of PW-1 is corroborated by the statement of PW-3 and more than prima facie case is made out against the applicant for summoning him under Section 319 Cr.P.C. The learned court below has recorded its satisfaction after discussing the evidence adduced by PW-1, PW-2 and PW-3 in great detail. The evidence on the basis of which the applicant has been summoned by the learned trial court is cogent one, born out from the statement of PW-1 and PW-3 and it is enough to form a prima facie opinion on the basis of such evidence which is weigh to stronger the near probability of his complicity.

15. On due consideration, I do not find any illegality in the impugned order. The petition fails and is accordingly dismissed.
