MAHESH GROVER, J.

The petitioner impugns the order of framing the charge dated 15.5.2014 on the ground that there is no evidence to show that he was drunk. At this stage of the proceedings, the Court which frames the charge has only to look into the material which is available on record and formulate a prima facie opinion about the charge. Evidently, the conviction of the petitioner is not contingent upon the framing of charge as it is dependent upon the evidence that may come.
