JUDGMENT Hon’ble Barkat Ali Zaidi, J.—Heard in a trial (Session Trial No. 351 of 2006) State v. Nankoo Lal Yadav etc. the Additional Sessions Judge, Fast Track Court No. 6, Allahabad rejected the application of the three accused in the case praying that the charge should not be framed for the present in the case because a cross case (Criminal Case No. 35 of 2006, State v. Bhilash and others, under Sections 147, 148, 149, 452, 323, 436 and 506, I.P.C.) is pending in the Court of Additional Chief Magistrate Court No. 14, Allahabad and has not yet been committed for trial. 2. The Sessions Judge rejected the application and that is why the accused-applicant has come to this Court heard Sri Prem Prakash Advocate for the applicant Sri R.S. Yadav, Sri A.K. Yadav and Dileep Kumar Srivastava for the complainant and the Additional Government Advocate for the Opp. Party State. 3. There is no scope for any complication because the question whether a cross case is pending or not is not to be considered at the time of framing the charges. If at all there is a cross case, it will have to be dealt with in accordance with law at the time of trial. The question that a criminal case is pending, is irrelevant so far as framing of charge is concerned, because, the charge has to be framed on the basis of the facts of the case and the facts of the cross case do not have to be taken into account. 4. Since, the High Court has directed expeditious disposal of the Sessions Trial, the trial Court shall ask the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate to expedite the disposal of the alleged cross case and then the trial Sessions Judge may examine the question whether it is a cross case or not and if it is a cross case, they may both be proceeded simultaneously one after the other. The trial Sessions Judge can, therefore, proceed with the framing of charge. 5. the application is rejected. ————
