SUBHASH SHARMA Vs. STATE OF U P

JUDGEMENT

(1.) BARKAT Ali Zaidi, J. The only question to be determined in these proceedings under Section 482 Cr. P. C. is whether charge can be framed against an accused only on basis of the evidence of co- accused.

(2.) I have heard Sri V. K. Jaiswal, learned Counsel for the applicants and Sri R. D. Yadav, learned A. G. A. for the State.

(3.) FOR framing the charge, even a strong suspicion is sufficient as held by the Supreme Court in the case of Ramesh Singh v. State of Bihar, AIR 1977 SC 2018 and Rajbir Singh v. State of U. P. and Anr. , 2006 (2) JIC 1 (SC) : JT 2006 (3) SC 372. It cannot, therefore, be said that for purposes of framing a charge, the evidence of co-accused is insufficient.
