https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=469745 Section 209 CrPC requires the Magistrate to apply judicial mind to the police report and material before committing a case to the Court of Session. A report alleging an offence under Section 307 IPC is not conclusive by itself; the Magistrate may examine whether the offence is in fact exclusively triable by the Court of Session. Where the material shows only simple injuries and no prima facie session-triable case, the Magistrate may proceed as a warrant case and refuse commitment. The police label does not bind the Magistrate, and the earlier precedent cited did not remove this discretion. en-us Tue, 06 Dec 1977 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 02 Jul 2026 16:28:09 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=469745 Section 209 CrPC requires the Magistrate to apply judicial mind to the police report and material before committing a case to the Court of Session.
