He next submits that the case was investigated by the police and final form has been submitted and the petitioner has not been sent up for trial. He also submits that the learned court by way of differing with the said final form has been pleased to take cognizance against the petitioner only on the ground that the allegations are there. 4.

It is an admitted position that the petitioner has not been sent up for trial, however, the learned court by way differing with the said final form, has been pleased to take cognizance against the petitioner. There is no doubt that the learned court is empowered to take cognizance differing with the final form, however, cogent reasons are required to be disclosed. In the order taking cognizance what are the materials for taking cognizance against the petitioner after filing the final form has not been disclosed and in that view of the matter, the petitioner, named above, is directed to surrender before the learned Court within two weeks from today and the learned Court shall release the petitioner on such terms and conditions or the sureties as the learned Court may deem fit and proper.
