Evidence of eight official witnesses filed by the trial court complainant, with regard to sections 249, 249 A & 561 A Penal Code (XLV of 1860), sections 302, 324 and 34 of the Criminal Procedure Code Was gone and there were no witnesses. The plea of the accused under Section 249A, CCPC, was denied and the legal status of a murder case can be made only after a judicial verdict after the witnesses have been examined. Were not available, the trial court could not pass an order under Article 249A, CCPC, under which the accused of the safest course available to the trial court could be acquitted, so the proceedings were to continue. ?
