Terming the probe into the case as "unprofessional," Additional Sessions Judge Vikas said while Ravinder Singh, whose car was damaged during the driving in the correct lane, was made an accused, the tempo driver Sanoj, who hit the victim's car, was not made the accused.
The court made the remarks taking into account the statements of injured persons, who were in the tempo.
"I would like to observe regarding the investigation which has been done by the IO in the most unprofessional manner. This court fails to comprehend as to on what basis the IO has charge sheeted the revisionist (Ravinder Singh) in this case.
"The statement of injured Ram Kripal and Mohammed Illyas all point towards the culpability of the tempo driver in causing the accident by driving it in the wrong carriage way," said the court.
The court made the observation while adjudicating Singh's plea against the July 28, 2012 order of magisterial court, which had framed charges of rash and negligent driving against him in road mishap case of July 1, 2009.
Allowing Singh's revision petition, ASJ Dhull set aside the magisterial court's order saying "the trial court is directed to order further investigation in the case, so that the real culprit who had caused the accident be brought to justice." (More)
