In a recent judgment, a court emphasized that it should not act as a mouthpiece for the prosecution and must evaluate the likelihood of the case before framing charges.

The court clarified that it should not simply echo the prosecution’s arguments when framing charges. It must assess the probability of the case, taking into account the evidence and the likelihood of success. This approach is intended to prevent premature or unjust charge framing. The ruling underscores the court’s role as an independent arbiter, balancing the interests of prosecution and the accused.
