BHARDWAJ Headnotes (Editor) Ø Forcing a person to undergo criminal prosecution without noticing as to whether any criminal case is made out against a person on the strength of the material and evidence collected by the prosecution itself is a perpetuation of injustice. Ø A Court of law cannot refuse to examine the existence of prima facie evidence and as to whether such evidence would support the continuation of proceedings against the petitioner or not on a pretext that such issue is to be examined at the stage of trial. Ø A plea of defence cannot be looked into by the Revisional Court especially when such plea is sought to be established by any other evidence or document which is yet to be proved in accordance with law.
