     CORAM: HONOURABLE MR JUSTICE ARVIND SINGH CHANDEL

                                   ORAL JUDGMENT

Date : 07-08-2024

Heard both the counsel.

2 This revision petition has been preferred by the

petitioners being aggrieved with the order dated 29.01.2024 passed

in ST No 713 of 2022 by Additional Sessions Judge IX,

Samastipur whereby the application filed by the petitioners under

Section 228 of the Cr P C has been rejected.

3 On the basis of information given by the informant,

FIR was registered and after completion of investigation, charge

sheet has been filed before the concerned Magistrate for the Patna High Court CR. REV. No.486 of 2024 dt.07-08-2024

offence punishable under Sections 341, 323, 324, 504, 506, 307/34

of the IPC. After taking cognizance of the offence, the mater was

committed to the Court of Session. During course of the said trial,

at the stage of framing the charge, an application under Section

228 of the Cr P C has been filed by the accused persons which has

been rejected by the learned Additional Sessions Judge vide his

impugned order.

4 It is argued by the learned counsel for the petitioners

that on the basis of materials available on record, no case under

Section 307 of the IPC is made out against the petitioners. The

injury report of the victim also shows that though he sustained

injuries on his neck but injuries were simple in nature. Therefore,

no offence under Section 307 of the IPC is made out but the

learned trial Court, without considering this fact, rejected the

application of the petitioners.

5 Perusal of the impugned order and other materials

available on record clearly show that it was found by the learned

trial Court that there were sufficient materials available on record

such as statements of witnesses under Section 161 of the Cr P C as

well as injury report of the victim, that the charge under Section

307/34 of IPC is made out. Injury report further shows that the

injuries sustained by the injured were found on his neck and were Patna High Court CR. REV. No.486 of 2024 dt.07-08-2024

cut injuries and incised wounds. Though they are simple in nature

but were found on the neck of the victim which is vital part and

were caused by sharp edged weapon. Therefore, the learned trial

Court rightly arrived at the conclusion that there is sufficient

material available on record for framing charge under Sections

307/34 of the IPC.

6 I do not find any infirmity/illegality in the order of the

learned Additional Sessions Judge.

7 Accordingly, this revision petition is dismissed, having

no merit.
