BHAGWAN SAH vs STATE OF BIHAR — 161/2025

Summary The Sessions Judge allowed the criminal revision and set aside the Magistrate's order, directing it to be reconsidered. The court found that the lower court failed to properly evaluate evidence—including witness statements and medical reports documenting ligature marks on victims' necks—that established a prima facie case for serious offences including attempted murder under BNS Section 109, not merely the lesser charges the Magistrate had summed on. The judge emphasized that at the cognizance stage, only prima facie case sufficiency need be assessed, not merit evaluation.
