S.K. Jain, J.—Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner Sri K.K. Seth and learned A.G.A.

This petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India has been filed for issuance of writ of certiorari quashing the order dated 572006 passed by learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Court No. 25, Lucknow in case No. 4343/06 under Section 307 I.P.C. State v. Prem Singh Suchha relating to case crime No. 48/04, P.S. Ashiyana, Lucknow.

By the impugned order the learned Magistrate committed case of the accused to the Court of Sessions. Learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that the impugned order has been passed without compliance of the Section 207 Cr.P.C. and no copy of the statement and other documents relating upon the prosecution were furnished to the accused.

Learned A.G.A. submits that there is no illegality in the impugned order.

I have considered the rival submissions. The writ petition is disposed of with a direction that the learned Sessions Judge before proceedings with the trial shall ensure whether the compliance under Section 207 Cr.P.C. was made or not, if not made, the same shall be complied before proceeding further.
