“The provisions of sections 235 and 239 of the Criminal
Procedure Code vest, in our view, a discretion in the Court to
try offences of the kinds indicated therein jointly in the
circumstances therein mentioned, but there is nothing in them
to indicate that the Court is bound to try such offences or
persons together in every case. The discretion vested in the
Court by these sections is expected like any other discretion
vested in a Court of law to be exercised upon sound judicial
principles and in the light of the facts and circumstances of
each case.”
