Jammu, Mar 17: Principal Sessions Judge Poonch Jaffer Hussain Beigh today framed rape charges against two accused along with main accused, for committing rape also who provided room in their house but were left out by the investigating agency. When the hearing of the case was taken up, Court at the stage of framing of the charge has to consider the materials/evidences placed before it by the Investigating Officer (I/O) of Police and judgment which is to be applied finally before finding the accused guilty or otherwise is not exactly to be applied at the stage of framing of the charge. At this stage, even a very strong suspicion founded upon materials before the court, which leads the court to form a presumptive opinion as to existence of the factual ingredient constituting the offence alleged, may justify the framing of charge in respect of the commission of the offence established from the material collected by the Investigating Officer and thus offences u/ss 376, 342, 109 RPC are prima facie made out against both these accused persons and charges are accordingly need to be framed against them for the said offences. Court further observed that the offences committed by the two other accused persons who have on bail not been admitted to bail for offence u/s 376 RPC. As such they be sent to District Jail Poonch till next date of hearing.
