The Deputy Magistrate after going carefully through the evidence against the accused discharged all of them except 3 under Section 253 of the Code. The learned Sessions Judge of Birbhum set aside the order of discharge and directed a farther enquiry under Section 437 of the Code. As regards the petitioner before us, all that the Sessions Judge says for a further enquiry is this: It will, of course, be the duty of the Court below to see whether he could have any &#8220;motive to join in the riot and whether the evidence is sufficient against him.&#8221; It was the duty of the Sessions Judge, before directing a further enquiry as regards the petitioner, to have perused the evidence and stated what the grounds were which induced him to direct a further enquiry. The mere fact that the petitioner was one of the accused would not be sufficient to direct a further enquiry as regards him, simply because there was such a direction as regards the other accused. We, accordingly, set aside the order of the learned Sessions Judge with reference to the petitioner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Calcutta High Court Abinash Chandra Mitra vs The Emperor on 15 August, 1907 Equivalent citations: 1 Ind Cas 415 Bench: Mitra, Fletcher JUDGMENT 1.
