5. This Court has perused the material on record as well as charges and does not find any infirmity in framing of the said charge. Even otherwise, this Court is of the considered view that it is only during trial and after adducing of the evidence the court will proceed to decide about the culpability of the applicant whether he is guilty or not guilty but a mini trial cannot be conducted at the stage of framing of the charges by this Court in exercise of powers U/S 482 of Cr.P.C.
6. Apart from the above, this Court finds that all the charges pertain to the incident and certainly arise from a fair reading of the allegations levelled by the informant in the first information report as well as material which has come up during investigation. In view of the aforesaid reasons, this Court dos not find any infinity in the charges to interfere in the matter, this Application U/S 528 BNSS is devoid of merits and is accordingly dismissed.
