THESE PETITIONS, COMING ON FOR ADMISSION, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: - 6 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:19824 CRL.P No. 11351 of 2024 C/W CRL.P No. 1795 of 2024 CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.NAGAPRASANNA ORAL ORDER Crl.P.No.1795 of 2024: The petitioners, in this petition, are before this Court calling in question the proceedings in C.C.No.365 of 2023 pending on the file of I Additional Civil Judge and JMFC, Malur. The learned counsel Sri Dhananjay Kumar, appearing for the petitioners would submit that charges have been framed and trial has commenced. The offences alleged is the one punishable under Section 307 of the IPC inter alia. A perusal at the summary of the charge sheet or the wound certificate that is appended to the petition would not entail interference at the hands of this Court, particularly when the trial is on. Crl.P.No.11351 of 2024: The petitioners, in this petition, are before this Court calling in question the proceedings in C.C.No.340 of 2023 pending on the file of I Additional Civil Judge and JMFC, Malur. - 7 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:19824 CRL.P No. 11351 of 2024 C/W CRL.P No. 1795 of 2024 This is a counter case that is registered against these petitioners for the same incident that happens, which is the fulcrum of the companion petition. The summary of the charge sheet or the wound certificate appended to the petition would clearly indicate that this is also a case which would clearly require a trial before the concerned Court. The learned counsel submits that petitioners have also preferred an application seeking their discharge from the array of accused. In that light, there is no warrant of interference at the hands of this Court at this juncture. The petitions stand disposed, reserving liberty to the petitioners to urge all their contentions before the concerned Court at the relevant point in time.
