Cr.P.C Section 346

Procedure of Magistrate in cases which he cannot dispose of.

(1) If, in the course of an inquiry or trial before a Magistrate in any district, the evidence appears to him to warrant a presumption that the case is one which should be tried, or sent for trial to the Court of Session or the High Court, by some other Magistrate in such district, he shall stay proceedings and submit the case, with a brief report explaining its nature, to the Sessions Judge or to such other Magistrate, having jurisdiction, as the Sessions Judge directs.

(2) The Magistrate to whom the case is submitted may, if so empowered, either try the case himself or send the case for trial to the Court of Session or the High Court.]
