    <title>Revision petitions dismissed; framing charges upheld where investigation materials raise prima facie involvement and Section 24(a) presumption</title>
    <link>https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=92302</link>
    <description>The HC dismissed criminal revision petitions challenging orders rejecting applications for discharge and framing charges, thereby affirming the trial court&#039;s continuation of prosecution. The court held that sufficient material surfaced during investigation to prima facie presume involvement in the scheduled offence and to justify framing charges; the stage of discharge/framing does not permit a mini-trial or meticulous weighing of defence. The HC reiterated that prosecution must establish foundational facts - existence of proceeds of crime and the accused&#039;s involvement - after which the statutory presumption shifts under Section 24(a) and the accused must rebut it. Revisional jurisdiction is limited to correcting patent legal or procedural errors; no such error was found, so impugned orders were upheld.</description>
