When the applicant appeared in court he applied to the Magistrate for acquittal on the ground that the offence had been compromised at home.

Ram Singh and ors. Vs. State

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Feb-03-1959

Reported in: AIR1959All623

ORDERM.C. Desai, J.1. No case for interference is made out at all. The personal attendance of two of the applicants was exempted under Section 205(1) Cr. P. C., and they did not appear in court on any date and consequently were not examined by the court under Section 342, Cr. P. C. I do not consider that their non-examination in these circumstances was an illegality. It is true that under Section 342, Cr.P.C., an accused must be examined after the witnesses for the prosecution have been examined, but this presupposes that he is present. There is nothing in the language of Section 342(1) to suggest that an accused, whose personal attendance has been exempted under Section 205 (1), also must be examined after the witnesses for the prosecution have been examined.The exemption from the personal attendance contemplated by Section 205(1) is for the whole duration of the trial; it follows that an accused can be exempted from personal attendance even on the date on which the examination under ...
