Framing Charge Under CrPC | Grave Suspicion & Corroborated Co-Accused Statements Suffice at Prima Facie Stage : J&K HC
J&K High Court rules that charges can be framed based on grave suspicion and corroborated co-accused statements, even without direct evidence, reinforcing that the charge stage only requires a prima facie case. The judgment also validates multiple FIRs for wider conspiracies, impacting criminal proceedings under Sections 419, 420, 468, 120-B RPC and the Essential Commodities Act.
