Penal Code (XLV of 1860)--- ----Ss. 302(b), 324, 353, 427, 109 34---Criminal Procedure Code (V of 1898), Ss. 233, 234 235---Qatl-i-amd, attempt to commit qatl-i-amd, assault or criminal force to deter public servant from discharge of his duty, mischief causing damage to the amount of fifty rupees, abetment, common intention---Appreciation of evidence---Application for framing of a single charge in the two cases filed by accused was declined---Effect---Section 233, Cr.P.C., laid down the general principle that for every distinct offence, of which any person was accused, there should be a separate charge, and every such charge should be tried separately---General rule had been provided as separate framing of charge for each independent offence or offences, as well as its separate trial---Exceptions had no doubt been provided in Ss. 234, 235, 236 239 Cr.P.C., but same would be construed as exceptions to the general rule and could only be resorted to when a case was fully covered under the four corners of exceptions provided therein---Section 234, Cr.P.C. was discretionary in nature, which was evident from use of the words may be and therefore same had been left to the discretion of the court, for the reason that the court would see whether facts and circumstances of offences allowed framing of a simple charge---Joinder of charges in offences carrying capital punishment at different places and times could hardly be taken to be a reasonable exercise of discretion vested in the court by S. 234, Cr.P.C.---One could not perceive that a person committing offence of murder of different persons within a span of one year might be tried together---Such an interpretation would obviously offend against the general rule enshrined in S. 233, Cr.P.C.---Section 235, Cr.P.C., provided that if in one series of acts so connected together as to form the same transaction, more offences than one were committed by same person, he might be charged with and tried at one trial for every such offence---In the present case, stories of the two FIRs showed that the offences were independent in nature and same could hardly be termed as forming same transaction---Offences under Ss. 302 324,…
