We must decline to accept the reference, which seems to be premature. The Assistant Sessions Judge should have disposed of the charges

which were triable with the aid of assessors. When he has done so, it will be open to him to consider whether the interests of justice require that he

should make a reference u/s 307, Criminal Procedure Code, on the other charge. He had no jurisdiction to refer the whole case. See Emperor Vs.

The record will be returned to the Assistant Sessions Judge for disposal in accordance with law.
