The petnr in this case has moved against an order of the Dist Mag of Champa-ran directing the commitment of the petnr accused for trial before the Ct of sessions for a charge under Section 376, I. P. C. The Dist Mag: has passed the order of commitment after setting aside an order of discharge passed by Mr. A. A. Khan, Mag of the First Class, Bettiah, who held an enquiry under Chapter XVIII of Cr. P. C.\n<\/p>\n<p>  2. The allegation against the petnr is that on 20-9-1949, at about 9 a.m. he committed rape upon the complainant Mt. Kaushalya. This occurrence took place in village Telpore about eight miles off from police station Laurya &amp; twenty-two miles away from the Sub-division of Bettiah. The complaint was lodged by the girl on 21-9-1949, in Ct, which the Sub-divisional Mag referred for investigation to the local police without taking any steps to have the girl examined by a medical officer. The Sub-Inspector of Police received the order on 27-9-1949 when he recorded a first information &amp; proceeded to investigate the case. The medical examination of the girl actually took place on 1-10-1949 almost ten days after the occurrence. The evidence of the doctor is that the girl is below the age of 16 years. A number of prosecution witnesses have been examined in the case, two of whom purport to be eye witnesses to the occurrence itself; &amp; the evidence of the girl as also that of the eye-witnesses is sought to be corroborated by the evidence of some other witnesses to whom the girl stated about the occurrence. The learned Dist Mag has observed that prima facie&#8217; the evidence of the eye witnesses is corroborated by some of the circumstances in the case, such as the absconding of the accused &amp; the recovery of broken pieces of bangles from sugar cane field. He, therefore, thinks that &#8216;prima facie it was a case which should have been committed for trial &amp; the learned Mag acted erroneously in discarding the prosecution evidence on balancing of probabilities. The learned Dist Mag has pointed out that although a committing Ct has every right to weigh the evidence before him in order to find out whether a &#8216;prima facie&#8217; case has or has not been made out for the trial of the accused, lie has no right to substitute his own judgment for the final judgment of the Ct which is competent to hold the trial. He has also pointed out certain errors in the judgment of the learned Mag in his appreciation of the evidence on the record.\n<\/p>\n<p>  3.\tIt is unnecessary for me to discuss the<br \/>\nmerits of the evidence &amp; to make any observa<br \/>\ntion which may be calculated to prejudice the<br \/>\ntrial of the accused.   It seems to me that the<br \/>\nview taken  by  the  learned Dist  Mag of the<br \/>\nfunctions of a committing Ct is perfectly jus<br \/>\ntified &amp; is supported by numerous authorities of<br \/>\nthis Ct as also of other Cts.   The main func<br \/>\ntion of a committing Ct is to see whether the<br \/>\nevidence  is such that the accused should be<br \/>\nsent up for trial or not.   If he thinks that the<br \/>\nevidence is of such a nature, then merely be<br \/>\ncause  as a trying Ct, he himself might not<br \/>\nhave been prepared to accept that evidence, he<br \/>\ncannot discharge the accused.   It may be that<br \/>\nthe trying Ct may take a different view of the<br \/>\nevidence from the one which has been taken by the  Mag himself.    His  function is to see  whether the case is a fit one for trial or commitment, &amp; not whether the ease is a fit one for   conviction.    Therefore,   if   there   are   two views  possible  of  the evidence,  although  the Mag may be inclined to a view in favour of the accused,   he should   not, merely   on that account refuse to commit the accused so long as there is a possibility of another view being  taken by the  Ct which finally comes to try  him.    It  is  only  where,  on  the  evidence  on record, no other view is possible except the one in favour of the accused, that a Mag should  refuse to commit such a case because there is really no evidence for trial.   These propositions appear to  have  been  well  settled  by  various decisions of this Ct.    In &#8216;Moinuddin v. Sheogobind   Sahu&#8217;,   A IB    28.   1941   Pat   505:     42 Cr L. J. 576., Meredith J. observed as follows:<br \/>\n  &#8220;If the Mag, after weighing the evidence, is satisfied that it is evidence upon which no reasonable Ct could convict, it is his duty to discharge, but if it is a case of balancing probabilities, estimating pros &amp; cons; if it is a case where a different Ct might possibly in his opinion come to a conclusion different from his own, then it is his duty to commit where the evidence is sufficient for conviction even though he may himself not think the evidence sufficient for a conviction.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>  4.\tAgain, in &#8216;Ganga Prasad v. Bhagwat Deo,<br \/>\nAIR  29. 1942Pat38:   42Cr L. J. 767.. Dhavle J.\n<\/p>\n<p>observed that it was the duty of a Mag making an enquiry under Chap 18 to decide on the materials before him whether or not there were sufficient grounds for committing the accused for trial, there could be no question that he was not only entitled but also bound to consider the evidence &amp; weigh it. It is quite clear, however, that he must do so in order to discharge the limited duty laid upon him, &amp; not by way of trying the case.<br \/>\n  &#8220;Therefore, if the evidence was balanced<br \/>\nhowever, unevenly in his opinion, then it was a<br \/>\nmatter which had to be tried, &amp; it was the<br \/>\nduty of the Mag to commit it for trial &amp; not<br \/>\nto discharge the accused.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p> This is what the learned Mag appears to have<br \/>\ndone, namely, that he has balanced the evidence<br \/>\nin the light of probabilities. It may be that<br \/>\nthe sessions Ct may, in spite of these probabi<br \/>\nlities accept the direct evidence of the prose<br \/>\ncution witnesses. The Mag in fact, as the<br \/>\nlearned Dist Mag points out, &amp; there may be<br \/>\nmuch substance in the reasons which he has<br \/>\nadvanced, relied upon probabilities which do not<br \/>\nappear to carry much weight with the latter:\n<\/p>\n<p>My observations on this point should not be,<br \/>\nin any manner, construed to prejudice the case<br \/>\nof the accused, but I am only referring to it<br \/>\nin order to illustrate the point that it was pos<br \/>\nsible &amp;, in my opinion, very reasonably possible<br \/>\nto take a different view of the evidence, as the<br \/>\nlearned Dist Mag appears to have done. Reliance<br \/>\nwas placed upon a decision of this Ct, in &#8216;Mander<br \/>\nv. Karu Mander&#8217;, 6 PLT 146:  AIR  12. 1925<br \/>\nPat 279: 25 Cr LJ 1089., &amp; another decision of<br \/>\nthis Ct in &#8216;Tincouri v. Emperor&#8217;, 1 PLT 153:\n<\/p>\n<p> AIR  7. 1920 Pat 46: 21 Cr LJ 328.. These<br \/>\ndecisions stand on their own facts &amp; the pro<br \/>\npositions laid down there need not be disputed.\n<\/p>\n<p>As I have said, it is certainly open to a Mag<br \/>\nholding a preliminary enquiry in a case triable<br \/>\nby a Ct of sessions to examine the credibility<br \/>\nof the testimony of witnesses, but he can do so,<br \/>\nonly for the limited purpose of seeing whether<br \/>\nthere is a &#8216;prima facie&#8217; case for commitment<br \/>\n&amp; not for the purpose of coming to a decision<br \/>\nwhether the accused is actually guilty. It is<br \/>\ntrue that this Ct has got full jurisdiction under<br \/>\nSection 437, Cr. P. C., to revise the commitment order,<br \/>\nunder Section 436, made by a Dist Mag both on<br \/>\npoints of law as well as of facts. I have cur<br \/>\nsorily glanced through the evidence &amp;, for the<br \/>\npresent, I am not inclined to differ from the<br \/>\nview taken by the learned Dist Mag. The deci<br \/>\nsion in &#8216;Tincouri&#8217;s case&#8217;,  1 PLT 153: AIR\n<\/p>\n<p> 7. 1920 Pat 46: 21 CrLJ 328., was one in<br \/>\nwhich Jwala Prasad J. pointed out that the<br \/>\nevidence was such that no Ct would, upon the<br \/>\nevidence, feel any hesitation in acquitting the<br \/>\naccused. For these reasons, I am not inclined<br \/>\nto interfere with the order passed by the<br \/>\nlearned Dist Mag. The rule is accordingly discharged.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Patna High Court Bhola vs Kaushalya on 13 November, 1950 Equivalent citations: AIR 1951 Pat 453 Author: S Prasad Bench: S Prasad ORDER Sarjoo Prasad, J. 1.
