From the perusal of the material on record and looking into the facts of the case, at this stage, it cannot be said that no offence is made out against the applicant. On perusal of medical examination and other evidence, prima facie, offence is made out against the applicant. The learned Magistrate has rightly summoned the applicant in the aforesaid case. The order passed by the court below is just and proper. All the submissions made at the bar relate to the disputed questions of facts, which cannot be adjudicated upon by this Court under Section 482 Cr.P.C. 6.
