Judgment & Decree
The facts leading to the filing of this petition are that a complaint under section
500. P.P.C. was filed by the respondent against the petitioners. After preliminary-investigation, process was issued against the petitioners for appearance before the Court. Learned counsel for the petitioners has come before this Court seeking quashment of the proceedings pending against the petitioners.
2. It was contended that the learned trial Court had erred in law by recording preliminary evidence when the complainant had not given a summary of statement of his witnesses. Argued that statements were recorded on solemn affirmation, whereas they should have been recorded on oath.
3. I have heard the learned counsel at length and gone through the file. The statements were recorded in the absence of the petitioners, therefore, no prejudice could possibly be caused to them. Petitioners should join the proceedings and move an application before the trial Court. It is further directed that if such an application is moved, the trial Court shall decide the same expeditiously before proceeding with the trial. With these observations the petition is disposed of. The file shall be sent back forthwith. N.H.Q./M-607/L Order accordingly.
