RADHA KISHAN Vs. STATE OF RAJASTHAN

JUDGEMENT

(1.) Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Public Prosecutor. Perused the material available on record.

(2.)

Radha Kishan) and 387/2010 (Mohd.Ayub Vs. Radha Kishan).

(3.) Ex-facie, after having appreciated the arguments advanced by the learned counsel for the parties and after going through the impugned orders, it is evident that questioned complaints consolidation whereof was sought, were filed by different complainants and as such, there arises no question of consolidating the trial of the two cases with each other. The prayer made by the petitioner in his application was totally alien to the letter and spirit of Section 218 Cr.P.C. Hon'ble the Kerala High Court considered an identical controversy in the case of Sidhardhan Vs. Prasannan & Ors. reported in 2006 Cr.L.J. 2568 and held as below:
